Coco Gauff is now officially an Unrivaled investor.
Joining the likes of Dawn Staley, JuJu Watkins and more, the tennis star is the latest to add her name to 3-on-3 league founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, which is set to tip off January 17 in Miami.
Gauff expressed her excitement at now being an investor, saying, “I’m thrilled to be joining Unrivaled as an investor. Basketball is one of my favorite sports and the chance to support a league that’s redefining the game is exciting. I look forward to being part of this movement and continuing to help elevate women’s sports to new heights.”
Earlier this week, TNT Sports announced their studio coverage for their inaugural season. The coverage will center on three-time WNBA Champion and two-time league MVP Candace Parker, former WNBA All-Star Renee Montgomery and host Lauren Jbara – with special appearances by four-time Olympic gold medalist and WNBA legend Lisa Leslie – as they share pregame insights and analysis as well as postgame highlights throughout the season from TNT studios in Atlanta.
Additionally, the TNT team will be joined by a rotation of veteran reporters that include the likes of Taylor Rooks, Allie LaForce, Stephanie Ready and Ros Gold-Onwude.
In December, it was also announced that the league will be teaming up with Under Armour for its first season. The deal sees the company as the official sponsor for the league. This means Under Armour will provide all of the on-court uniforms for Unrivaled’s inaugural season. Additionally, the company will provide players, coaches and staff with the full range of performance apparel and accessories needed for competition and training.
As part of the partnership, Unrivaled and Under Armour are also committed to supporting the growth of women’s basketball at every level, and together, will host community events and a youth development camp powered by UA Next, Under Armour’s grassroots platform, each season.
