Stephen Curry has a special fondness for tennis! As an NBA regular, every now and then he has taken time out to meet tennis players and to attend matches as a fan. Not only that, but the love for basketball goes the other way around too. Just a few days ago, the world’s number one ranked tennis player, Novak Djokovic, met Curry during a Golden State Warriors game.
