From baseline rallies to slam-dunk alley-oops, the craze for both tennis and the NBA is unmatchable! While a lot of tennis players are into the NBA and share a love for the sport, there is one player who is not much into more than tennis. It’s none other than the WTA world number one, Iga Swiatek. But at the same time, it’s also the 2024 NBA All-Stars weekend, an event that cannot be missed.
But have you ever thought of creating an All-Stars team filled with tennis players? The Polish tennis sensation expressed her enthusiasm for this concept, revealing the dream lineup she envisions competing alongside her on the court, including Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka, but nearly missing out on a big name.
Iga Swiatek picks her All-Star tennis team
The excitement for the NBA All-Star game is real, and now it has also reached the tennis arena. Recently, the 22-year-old WTA star answered a few questions related to the all-star event. In a recent press conference in Dubai, she was asked to pick an All-Stars team from her tour, just like the NBA one.
At first, she openly shared her take on her connection with the NBA. She stated, “I don’t really watch this. I don’t really watch NBA.” Further, she picked 7 names other than herself and created a dream team, with whom she would like to play an all-star tennis game.
