Andre Agassi will play in the Pickleball Slam on April 2 alongside John McEnroe, Michael Chang and Andy Roddick and unlike McEnroe, the former does not take a disparaging view at the sport.

"As far as the interest in it, are we anywhere near the best pickleball players? One-hundred-percent no is the answer to that question," Agassi said.

"But there's tens of millions of people playing the game for obvious reasons. They love it. And I'm one of them."

For Agassi, he further admitted that he will continue to play after this event in order to keep fit more than anything.

"I'm going to play beyond this event just because I've learned it's a great form of exercise outlet," he added.

Congrats to @AndreAgassi and @andyroddick for today's big win at the Pickleball Slam & to @JohnMcEnroe & @MichaelChang89 for taking it down to the wire! Big thanks @HardRockHolly for hosting the event and @espn for the broadcast! Can’t wait for the sequel! #ThePickleballSlam
