How tennis great Steffi Graf got bitten by pickleball’s ‘fun factor’.Full details below

Steffi Graf, one of tennis’s most decorated athletes, has recently embraced the burgeoning sport of pickleball, captivated by its engaging and accessible nature. Her introduction to the game came when she and her husband, fellow tennis legend Andre Agassi, participated in the inaugural Pickleball Slam in 2023. This event, which pitted them against other renowned tennis figures, sparked Graf’s interest in the sport.

In a conversation with CNN, Graf expressed her enthusiasm for pickleball, highlighting its complementary relationship with tennis. She noted that the rise of pickleball offers “more options” for recreational players, providing an alternative that is both fun and less intimidating than traditional tennis. This perspective underscores her belief that both sports can coexist, enriching the landscape of racket sports.

Agassi echoed this sentiment, emphasizing pickleball’s accessibility. He pointed out that while tennis requires a significant time investment to develop proficiency, pickleball allows newcomers to experience noticeable improvement in a short period. “Anybody can pick up a pickleball racket… It’s not intimidating,” Agassi remarked, highlighting the sport’s appeal to a broad audience.

 

The couple’s engagement with pickleball has extended beyond casual play. They have actively participated in competitive events, including the recent Pickleball Slam 3 held at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. In this tournament, Graf and Agassi faced off against Andy Roddick and Eugenie Bouchard, securing a victory that added to their growing list of accomplishments in the sport.

 

Their involvement has also led to collaborations within the pickleball community. Agassi and Graf have partnered with equipment manufacturers to develop signature pickleball paddles, aiming to enhance the playing experience for enthusiasts. This venture reflects their commitment to contributing to the sport’s growth and accessibility.

 

Graf’s transition from tennis to pickleball exemplifies how athletes can find renewed passion in emerging sports. Her appreciation for pickleball’s “fun factor” and its inclusivity highlights the sport’s potential to attract a diverse range of participants, from casual players to seasoned athletes seeking new challenges.
