Coco Gauff, the 2024 WTA Finals winner and World No.3, recently made headlines with her investment in Unrivaled, a new women’s basketball league. Gauff’s involvement in the league, which kicked off its inaugural season on January 17, 2025, has been a significant move for both her and the sport.
On Saturday, Gauff attended one of the matches as a spectator, cheering for her friend Aliyah Boston of the Indiana Fever, who is competing for team Vinyl. Gauff shared a series of pictures and clips on her Instagram, showing her support for Boston and the league. In one photo, she posed with Boston, and in another, she was seen giving autographs and receiving a shoutout from the announcer.
Gauff’s love for basketball has been an open secret, thanks to her father Corey, a former basketball player for Georgia State University. Although Gauff chose tennis as her professional sport, her investment in Unrivaled shows her commitment to supporting women’s sports and continuing her father’s dream.
The 20-year-old tennis star expressed her excitement about being part of the movement to elevate women’s sports to new heights. Gauff’s involvement in Unrivaled has been well-received, and she continues to be a prominent figure in both tennis and basketball.
With her recent successes on the tennis court and her off-court endeavors, Gauff is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of sports. Her investment in Unrivaled is just one example of her dedication to making a positive impact on women’s sports.
