M80 announced on November 10 that the current world rank No. 3 tennis star Daniil Medvedev has joined the young esports organization's ownership group.

M80 was founded late last year by Marco Mereu and has teams competing in Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Rainbow Six: Siege, Rocket League and Street Fighter. Considering Medvedev has long expressed his love for Rainbow Six: Siege and has even become an official ambassador for the game, the future looks bright for the rising organization.

Medvedev is far from the first athlete to invest in esports though, football legends like Lionel Messi and Sergio Agüero have become co-owners in the Argentinian KRÜ Esports. David Beckham also became a co-owner in United Kingdom-based Guild Esports.

Investing in esports is not always a sure bet though, the recent collapse of FaZe Clan's value since they went public last year is evidence of that. M80 has shown a lot of growth in its short history though, and with additions like Daniil Medvedev, there may be a lot to look forward to from them.
