Pickleball now fourth biggest sport in the USA, rises 52% over the past year in sporting explosion

Pickleball is going from strength to strength in the USA with
an impressive rise in participants at different levels. In the recent past,
there has been a host of veteran or retired tennis players who joined pickleball
including the likes of Sam Querrey and Jack Sock.
As per the latest report, in the USA alone, there has been a
52% rise in people playing pickleball over the last few years.
As per the 2023 Topline Participation Report from the Sports
and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), roughly about 13.6 million Americans played pickleball in 12 months.
The report stated that the 12 months before that witnessed
roughly around 8.9 million Americans playing pickleball. It is widely believed
that such an interest in pickleball is largely down to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness.
Earlier, Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard, who is
perhaps the most high-profile tennis player who has announced to become part of
both pickleball and tennis, expressed optimism in the past that she will be able
to get more fans to switch to a newer format.
“Wow, I would love to have accomplished really cool things
in pickleball,” she said back then. “I would have loved to help grow the sport.
I think if I can bring over some of my fanbase, tennis fans to pickle and even
vice versa, pickle to tennis."

- 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".
