Tennis has scarcely been represented in the reality show Dancing with the Stars. Retired Italian player Fabio Fognini is currently competing in the Italian version of the show after a quick appearance last year while he was still active on the ATP Tour.
Professional athletes in basketball, football, and gymnastics have been well represented.
Retired American tennis player and current pickleball star, Jack Sock, is ready for his opportunity in the ballroom.
Sock Is Not Making It A Secret
Jack Sock is part of the Nothing Major podcast with Sam Querrey, John Isner, and Steve Johnson. On a recent episode, they were talking about DWTS, and Sock said he has always wanted to be on the show. He thought he did not have the credentials to get asked.

I beg to differ. Sock is a four-time Grand Slam doubles champion (three in men’s doubles and one in mixed), and he is a two-time Olympic medalist including gold in the 2016 Rio Olympics in mixed doubles and bronze in doubles.
Sock’s podcast partners believe he is deserving of the invite. Let’s hope the DWTS casting people are hearing this so that Sock can be on a future cast.
Sock Is A “Jack” Of All Trades
Most casual tennis fans did not know that Sock would welcome an opportunity to be on DWTS.
He is truly a Jack of all trades including his tennis, pickleball, and podcast skills.
