Coaching Coco Gauff … and Zendaya

  • Brad Gilbert is a tennis analyst for ESPN, and coaches rising tennis star Coco Gauff.
  • He's also teaching the game to Zendaya for her role in the upcoming film 'Challengers.'
Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports

Brad Gilbert is an ESPN analyst and coach of rising tennis star Coco Gauff, and recently he picked up another client: Zendaya. The movie star turned to Gilbert to learn the game for her upcoming film Challengers. Gilbert joins the show to discuss the parallels he sees between Gauff and Zendaya, the state of tennis in the post “Big Three” era, and how Netflix is changing tennis media.

Plus, MLS is in a precarious position with extra attention on their replacement referees, Jason Kelce retired from the NFL and could have a new job before long, and more than 10,000 college football players have accepted an NIL deal with EA Sports.
