Nicole Gibbs (born March 3, 1993) is an American tennis player.
Gibbs has won four singles and three doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 25 July 2016 she reached her best singles ranking of world no. 68. On 19 September 2016, she peaked at world no. 107 in the doubles rankings.
Gibbs graduated in 2010 from Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California, and from Stanford University in 2014.
Gibbs was the top player in both singles and doubles for the Stanford Women's team.
As a collegiate sophomore, Gibbs was named 2012 recipient of the Honda Sports Award for tennis. Her selection by the Collegiate Women Sports Awards program recognized Gibbs as the country's top junior female player in her sport.
A 2012 All-American in both singles and doubles, Gibbs, as a sophomore, pulled off a historic sweep of the year's NCAA singles and doubles titles. Gibbs joined Stanford's Linda Gates (1985) and UCLA's Keri Phebus (1995) as only the third player in NCAA history to capture both NCAA titles in the same season. Gibbs then repeated as NCAA singles champion the following year, before foregoing her senior year. Traditionally, the winner of the NCAA title is offered a wild card into the US Open, if American.
Gibbs defeated teammate Mallory Burdette in the first all-Stanford singles final since 2011, claiming the 15th collegiate singles crown (13 NCAA, 2 AIAW) in school history. One hour later, Gibbs and Burdette shook off physical and emotional fatigue to claim the doubles championship with victory over Georgia's Nadja Gilchrist and Chelsey Gullickson.
The championship matches represented a historic day for the Stanford women's tennis program. It was the first time in NCAA men's or women's tennis history that teammates squared off in the singles final before later pairing up in the doubles title match.
