Andre Agassi sealed the Pickleball Slam and a sum of $1m alongside Andy Roddick on Sunday evening in Hollywood in a tournament which saw John McEnroe also involved as their rivalry returned in a different discipline.
Asked if he would continue to play the new sport after being involved, he compared it to a tennis retirement home.
"100% guys. I never thought I was gonna say this, but I am playing this as long as I can walk. I can't wait to get back out there. Pickleball is where tennis players go to die," said Agassi.
Who is next though to play? Could Bjorn Borg be interested in the sport?

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
