2K gave a treat to all tennis fans when they announced the news of Top Spin 2k25 out of nowhere. Top Spin was a series of tennis games that lived largely in the hearts of its fans. Many were distraught as Top Spin 4 was the final installment in 2011. But after 13 years, it returned to us, and it features many new players, including Coco Gauff.

While the American sensation is one of the biggest selling points of the game, she has not played it herself. But she recently revealed who she would choose if she were to play the game, and she did not choose her idol.

Coco Gauff is excited “to be in a video game” although she doesn’t “play much sports games”

Gauff recently played her first-round match against Nadia Podoroska and won it in a dominant display of 6-1, 6-2. After the bout, she sat down for an interview where she talked about the much-awaited game – “Yeah, I knew I was going to be in it because actually, in Australia I did the little scan thing that you do for it. I actually never played the game. I have seen it. I don’t play much sports games, to be honest. But I will try to get it and maybe see how I play. I’ve seen a video of it, and the swings look funny. Yeah, it’s pretty cool to be in a video game. I don’t know how I would feel playing myself, though.”

When further asked who she would want to play as, she said, “Probably as one of the big three, yeah. Probably them.” At the moment, Roger Federer is the only big three player in the game. It went on to show Gauff’s preference for him over her idol, Serena Williams, who is also in the game. 

Season passes are set to come sometime after the initial launch, and we could also see Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic join the roster. While Gauff is not certain about the game, another player said that it can be a great development for tennis.

There have been many tennis games since Top Spin 4, but none of them managed to fill the hole that the 2K tennis game left. With the release a month away, Daniil Medvedev believes its return will be highly beneficial for tennis. He believed FIFA, now EA Sports FC, has been a dominating force in sports games, and playing Pro Evolution Soccer does not scratch the itch.

“Yes, play Pro Evolution Soccer somewhat close, but it’s always FIFA. FIFA now FC, so let’s see if in tennis, we can have uh something like this, and I think uh yeah it’s going to be good if the game is good and uh even tennis players can play.” 

The return of Top Spin 2K25 is one of the most exciting events for tennis fans besides the Miami Open. Playing the game on day 1 will be a priority for many as they hope it can live up to the legend of Top Spin 4.
