"It's been kind of a fun excuse to reconnect": Roddick pleased to reunite with Agassi for Pickleball on friendship and to win $1m

Former World No.1 Andy Roddick has picked up on the Pickleball craze and participated at the inaugural Pickleball Slam over the weekend, where he teamed with tennis legend Andre Agassi.

The duo defeated fellow tennis legends John McEnroe and Michael Chang to win the $1 million purse, and Roddick seemed pleased at his new achievement, in addition to catching up with Agassi.

"What has been pretty fun is getting the daily analysis from Andre Agassi and his breakdowns of what he's learned, what's working for him, what we should do," Roddick said. "It's been kind of a fun excuse to reconnect almost on a daily basis now."

Furthermore, Roddick admitted to enjoying sharing his new hobby with his family.

"My son loves going out in the front driveway to play," added the 40-year old. "It's a lot easier learning curve than tennis, especially for kids, so he loves it."
