Andre Agassi raves about pickleball after making pro debut in sport: 'I'm loving it'

Montclair Pickleball co-founders Aaron Reznick and Matt Slowinski discuss how pickleball can be a great place for singles to meet their partners on ‘Fox & Friends.’

Andre Agassi is back on the court, just a smaller one.

The eight-time Grand Slam winner made his professional pickleball debut last month at the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships, teaming up with 18-year-old Anna Leigh Waters, the top-ranked female player in the world, in a mixed tournament.

He won his first match before dropping his second, but after participating casually over the years, he's hooked.

"Dude, I'm not just liking it, I'm loving it. … It's an anomaly to see any support ever at this kind of pace, but it's easy to see why," Agassi said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "My family was looking for things to do, and watching how like bring people together, generations together, how it breaks cultural barriers, breaks down gender barriers, breaks down generational barriers, low-point of entry, nobody's intimated to try it, it's challenging at every level. Tell me when to stop, for crying out loud."

Agassi caught wind of "Dreambreaker: A Pickleball Story," a Netflix documentary directed by Ashley Underwood, Larry David's wife. She, too, has caught the pickleball fever, which might make for an amazing "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode.
