Cori Coco Gauff considers that tennis should take inspiration from the NBA

The American tennis talent Cori Coco Gauff said that tennis should take inspiration from basketball and organize mixed duels like those between Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu, which took place before the NBA All-Star Game

In Indianapolis, the star of the Golden State Warriors Steph Curry challenged and defeated the American Sabrina Ionescu, who is the best shooter of the New York Liberty and the US national team, in the three-point duel 29:26. It was the first competition between men and women.

This challenge between the top 3-point shooter in NBA history and the women’s NBA single-season three-point record has inspired Coco Goff, who is competing in the Dubai Tennis Tournament this week.

The 2023 US Open champion Cori Coco Gauff told reporters that she “would like to have a service contest between Serena Williams and Nick Kyrgios”. According to the American tennis talent, “Ons Jabeur and Carlos Alcaraz would also be interesting opponents”.

Cori Coco Gauff starts at the WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships versus Elisabetta Cocciaretto (Italy) later today.
