Tennis, over the ages, has been a pure joy to watch. Along with the iconic matches, this sport has given so many legends to remember. However, over the last few years, many fans of tennis have been slowly turning towards an upcoming sport, pickleball. As many tennis pros, after their retirement, made a swift jump to pickleball, they have also taken away a significant audience from tennis. This is certainly alarming for the fourth most-watched sport in the world.

In a recent development, the craze for Pickleball has even reached top officials in the country with some of the top names putting in some refreshing hours at playing the sport.
