One of the few out homosexual players on the WTA Tour, Daria Kasatkina, claims she has been "given guarantees" regarding her safety in the event that she plays in Saudi Arabia.

The 26-year-old has a chance to advance to the WTA Finals, which will take place in Riyadh for the first time this November, and conclude the season.

When asked if gay players should feel comfortable participating, the world number 11 responded to BBC Sport, saying, "I've been given guarantees that I'm going to be fine."
