Pickleball is a sport that took over the US when the pandemic wreaked havoc on the country. The sport that has existed for more than half a century is now becoming mainstream. Many tennis players banked in on the tournament and created the first Pickleball Slam. Now, Pickleball Slam 2 is set to take place, and it will feature big names like John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, and Maria Sharapova. 

The four tennis legends have taken on a new sport and will grace the Hard Rock Arena in Miami to battle it out against each other. American fans can watch the championship with little to no difficulty as a major channel has taken the streaming rights.

How to watch the Pickleball Slam 2

The first Pickleball Slam was played by Agassi and McEnroe as they teamed up with Andy Roddick and Michael Chang, respectively. With $1 million at stake, Agassi and Roddick went above and beyond to win the first Pickleball Slam. Now, the second Slam of the paddle sport is set to commence, and a similar prize money is at stake.

To watch Agassi and Graf take on Sharapova and McEnroe, ESPN will stream and broadcast the tournament for fans of the sport and those who are looking to discover it properly. The four stars will also be joined by some other Pickleball sensations. Jack Sock and James Blake, who retired from tennis in 2023, have been a part of Pickleball professionally.

The first match will see McEnroe and Blake against Agassi and Sock. The second clash will be held between Sharapova and Blake against Graf and Sock. McEnroe and Sharapova will play the final bout against Agassi and Graf.

Who will emerge victorious?

The Pickleball Slam 2 was first announced earlier in July 2023. Since then, both sides have exchanged trash talk and have also been seen bantering with their teammates. The first slam was won by Agassi and Roddick. Now, Agassi has another strong teammate on his side. Graf has had a much more glorious career than Masha, which might tip the scale in her and Agassi’s favor.

However, McEnroe is looking for revenge. Going back to his prime playing years, McEnroe had fire burning hotter than any other player on tour. Now paired with Sharapova, he will be looking to add fuel to the fire and take vengeance after his loss. This next slam has the possibility of taking the popularity of Pickleball even higher.
