Musk’s tweet about Pickleball’s success seemed harsh to the tennis fans. He wrote- “Pickleball will crush tennis. Way more convenient.” Soon, veteran tennis star, Andy Roddick responded to this comment in his way. He said- “And it will never crush tennis. It’s so much fun to play but it’s not even comparable as a viewer. Ping pong is also really fun would rather be kicked in the nuts than watch it on TV.”
