The Pickleball Slam 2 had a different setting from the first slam. This time, there are two teams of three. John McEnroe teamed up with Maria Sharapova and James Blake to take his vengeance against Andre Agassi, who added Steffi Graf and Jack Sock to his side. While they are battling each other for big prize money, Sharapova couldn’t help but compliment her opponents. 

While Sharapova is complimenting her opposing duo, McEnroe has lost himself to the heat of the bout. The former American player had an outburst on the court, much to the joy of his fans.

Steffi Graf, during her prime tennis-playing years, achieved more than what most even dream. After winning 22 grand slams, she set a new record for a number of singles major titles. She has inspired thousands of girls around the world to play tennis. Her husband, Andre Agassi, has had a similar impact on tennis as he has motivated many to pick up the racket.

Sharapova is one of the few players the two have inspired. However, they are playing against each other now in the Pickleball Slam 2. Regardless of their rivalry, Sharapova still idolizes the two. She shared a picture of her in the middle with Graf and Agassi next to her with the caption, “The best duo 🥰🏆”. She did not forget the fact that they were two players she looked up to despite their competition.

While Sharapova has stars in her eyes for her opponents, her team lead, John McEnroe, has nothing but fire in his entire being for the team. He showed his competitive nature once again in their ongoing battle.

Those who watched tennis in the 1980s and 90s are aware of the fire McEnroe possesses. Losses were not received with grace, and profanities were hurled at opponents, umpires, and other officials many times. While the seven-time grand slam champion became sober over the years, he was only waiting for the right moment.

He had an outburst during the ongoing Pickleball Slam, and fans were reminded of his old nature. Some fans found it hilarious, some said that he was crazy, while some were glad that he still possessed the ‘crybaby court’ charms. The two teams show different sides, as one is competitive and one idolizes them.
