The charity event, named the “Dirk Nowitzki Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic,” took place on Sunday at the SMU Tennis Complex. It was the fifth time Nowitzki had organized the event.
The lineup for the classic included Doncic and Nowitzki, tennis stars Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish, John Isner, Mark Knowles and Mike Bryan. Other participants included actors Ben Stiller and Boris Kodjoe and former Dallas Mavericks players Steve Nash and J. J. Barea.
Tickets for the event cost $41, with proceeds going towards charities that support children’s health, education and well-being in the Dallas area.
In an interview with “The Dallas Morning News” before the event, Nowitzki talked about the event’s importance.
Nowitzki also gave his opinion on Doncic’s tennis skills.
Luka Doncic jokingly challenges Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki to a 1-on-1 tennis match at charity event
Before the “Dirk Nowitzki Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic” started on Sunday, there was a question and answer mostly regarding the charity aspect of the event. However, current and former Dallas Mavericks stars Luka Doncic and Dirk Nowitzki also had some fun engaging in friendly trash talk.
The two Mavericks stars never ended up facing each other 1-on-1 to settle who is the better tennis player. But it’s clear that Doncic and Nowitzki are still as close as ever, and most importantly, they were able to help out a good cause.
