TENNIS legend Martina Navratilova says it might be time to change the name of Margaret Court Arena after the Australian great said she would stop using Qantas “where possible” in protest at the airline’s promotion of same-sex marriage.
Court’s stance has prompted a fierce backlash, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and current Australian player Casey Dellacqua - who is openly gay - weighing in on Friday.
Mr Turnbull sidestepped the question of whether Court’s name should be removed from the arena at Melbourne Park.
“Whatever people think of her opinion on gay marriage, she is one of the all time greats and the arena celebrates that,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told 3AW.
“She is the greatest of greats of tennis and that’s why it’s named after her.”
Court sparked the furore in a letter published in The West Australian newspaper.
“I am disappointed that Qantas has become an active promoter for same sex marriage,” Perth resident Court wrote.
“I believe in marriage as a union between a man and a woman as stated in the Bible.
