Hold the pickle, says Big Tennis

Does American tennis have a pickleball problem?

“Quite frankly, it’s obnoxious to hear that pickleball noise,” U.S. Tennis Association President Dr. Brian Hainline grumbled at a recent state-of-the-game news conference, bemoaning the distinctive pock, pock, pock of pickleball points.

Apparently they do.

I don't play either one. I did try tennis once and hit a lot of home runs. As in, over the fence. In tennis that's not a good thing, it seems. I've never even seen anyone play pickleball. Or heard them, for that matter.

Badminton I've played. But that's a whole nother thing.
