Pickleball is the new trending thing for tennis players. There are a lot of tennis players who are against the rising racquetball sport, but on the other hand, there are some players who are figuring out their career in pickleball after being in the tennis arena for a long time. In the same way, Eugenie Bouchard and Sam Querrey are some of the popular tennis faces who have made their pickleball debuts recently.

The 36-year-old tennis player recently left the sport behind to become a professional pickleball player.
