Today, esports organizations Rogue and the London Royal Ravens parent company ReKTGlobal announced that it has added 22-year-old American professional tennis player Taylor Fritz as an investor.
Fritz is the third traditional sports professional to join the ReKTGlobal investor group over the past six months. The company previously added Washington Redskins Landon Collins and the NBA’s two-time reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert as investors. Furthermore, EDM musician Steve Aoki, DJ Nick Rotteveel “Nicky Romero” van Gotum, members of Imagine Dragons, and Latin music producer Marco “Tainy” Masís are investors in ReKTGlobal.
“As the first tennis pro and youngest investor to date, I’m really excited to join the ReKTGlobal team,” said Fritz in a release. “It’s a dream come true to invest in this fast-growing esports organization and follow my passion for competitive gaming. As the esports industry continues to blow up and go mainstream, I’m looking forward to collaborating with the team and making magic happen. Livestreaming with the Rogue squad and DrLupo [Ben Lupo] will be a fun bonus too.”
