Over the past few months, pickleball has grabbed attention as a comparatively cheaper and more accessible sport than tennis. With the world hooked on the yellow plastic ball, tennis stars have also joined in on the fun. Legends like Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have also featured in pickleball tournaments. Hours ago, the power couple’s four-legged family member took to the court as well.

With the retired tennis couple featuring in the recently concluded Pickleball Slam, Agassi and Graf have brought the sport to new acclaim. The fever has gripped the entire family, it seems!

Andre Agassi joined by his brother’s pet amid pickleball fun

The American tennis legends have been busy preparing for the Pickleball Slam for the last few weeks. The power couple partnered together in the event, taking on John McEnroe and Maria Sharapova. Hours ago, another member joined Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf in pickleball. It was the former World Number One’s brother, Phillip’s, pet. The latter took to his official Instagram handle and shared a picture showing his pet dog having pickleball’s perforated plastic ball in its mouth.

Additionally, in the caption, he wrote, “Whole family is loving pickleball.” By the looks of it, it seemed that the pet dog was clearly having its fun day out.

Agassi’s profound love for pickleball

Apart from playing in the Pickleball Slam, Agassi is also on the board of a company responsible for the widely used pickleball rating system. Following his tennis retirement, Agassi has become fond of pickleball.

Agassi stated the reason, “We all grew up with a racket in our hands. It became more about just how much enjoyment we got out of it and how much it has added to our lives since then. From that moment, it’s been like a thought process on what would be cool to do for Pickleball Slam, too.”
