Purps Welcomes Nicole Gibbs

Purps is excited to team up with professional tennis player, and former Stanford All-American Nicole Gibbs. 

“We are stoked to partner with Gibbsy,” said the Purps founders. “She is a phenomenal athlete and inspirational role model that lives and breathes the brand ethos. We are lucky to have her on the team.”

As a former Stanford All-American, and 2 time NCAA Singles Champion, Nicole has already made a huge splash on the professional world tour. In Indian Wells, CA she pushed top 10 player, Petra Kvitova, to a three-set thriller in the round of 16, having already defeated world No. 23 Madison Keys along the way. She continued her good form in Miami by again defeating a world top 30 player and reaching the third round, where she faced world No. 4 Garbiñe Muguruza. As a testament to her early success on tour, Nicole earned the WTA's ‘Breakthrough Performance of the Month’ for March 2016 receiving an overwhelming 60% of the votes. Nicole is certainly moving up the ranks quickly and solidifying her foundation as a quintessential role model for excellence and a healthy lifestyle.

"I am thrilled to begin my partnership with Purps, a brand that shares my passion for healthy, active lifestyles. I have been using Purps products on and off the court for the past year and have seen a significant improvement in my overall health and performance on tour. As the newest Purps advocate, I can't wait to help the brand grow and expand into the tennis market. Plus as a SoCal girl, I love (and live) its fresh, surfer lifestyle appeal, so I’m really excited to be a part of the team.” – Nicole Gibbs 

Nicole has a busy upcoming schedule, which takes her to Europe next and then back to the US for hard court events leading up to the US Open. Tune in to watch her live during the French Open (May 23, 2016) and the Wimbledon Championships (June 27, 2016).
