Aussie US Open champion Sam Stosur has hit out at Margaret Court’s public stance against same sex marriage.

Following her first round win at the French Open, Stosur weighed in on the debate by suggesting players could boycott Margaret Court arena at the Australian Open next year.

Sticking up for her mate

Sam Stosur went to bat for her good mate Casey Dellacqua who was furious over Court’s remarks.

Sam Stosur Speaks Out

“Look, I think everyone can have their own opinion. I don’t agree with Margaret’s opinion,” said Stosur.

“That’s why Casey was, obviously, very adamant about that and I wanted to support my friend and that’s why I sent out my first tweet in a very long time.

“And, look, it’s just not something that I agree with. I think we definitely should have it (same-sex marriage) in Australia.”

“The court’s named Margaret Court Arena because of what she did in tennis, and that’s why basically,” she said.

“But I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we all get down to the Australian Open next year and (see) who wants to play on Margaret Court Arena and who doesn’t, and we’ll go from there.”
