Coco Gauff is the world's No. 6-ranked women's tennis player. She's also a devout Miami Heat fan.
If all goes well for her, she'll celebrate a Heat championship and her own in the coming weeks. The 19-year-old American is playing in the French Open in search of her first Grand Slam championship. Whenever she's done at Roland Garros, she says that she has an open invitation to the NBA Finals, thanks to the confidence of ever-confident Heat star Jimmy Butler.
Gauff, a South Florida resident, told reporters Tuesday that Butler sent her a message in April offering her tickets to the Heat's regular-season finale against the Orlando Magic on April 9 and another offering playoff tickets.
