The Pickleball slam is two days away, and the hype has only increased. Older and newer tennis fans are waiting for the legends to battle it out in a new racket sport. John McEnroe and Michael Chang team up to face Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick at the Hard Rock stadium. The four have gone all out in promoting their upcoming match. Even trash talk is a part of it. Recently, the official Twitter account of the Pickleball Slam posted a video of the foul-mouthed Superbrat trash-talking Andre Agassi with no holds barred.

Pickleball first saw a rise in popularity when the coronavirus pandemic hit. The paddle sport became famous around the USA as it required less effort and less space to be played. McEnroe was first against the sport, but he came around and decided to invest in it. However, he still feels that the sport is rather boring.

John McEnroe trashes Agassi with no mercy

If anyone has ever heard of McEnroe they would know why the seven-time grand slam winner is infamous. His trash talk and foul mouth know no bounds. This proved true in a recent instance when McEnroe went past limits to insult Agassi. The video of the trash talk was posted on the Pickleball Slam’s Twitter page.

McEnroe started off by saying maybe he shouldn’t indulge himself before the match. He sarcastically added that he would give it a thought and think of his past experiences with Agassi. You know, I’m not sure I would wanna divulge on camera before. You know, I’m gonna give that some serious thought. I’ll probably have to go through some of my, uh, past experiences with him.

McEnroe said that he might get under the eight-time grand slam winner’s skin. Get under his skin he surely did as he went on to make jokes at the expense of Agassi’s bald head, calling it a ‘dome’.

“But maybe I could, uh, get under his skin ’cause he doesn’t have as much hair as he did in the beginning. Yea, so maybe I can, maybe that’ll affect him. But he seems like he likes that dome, so it worked pretty well for him. You know, he finally just let it all not hang out.
