    Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy talked with BroBible about trying to bring tennis to the masses:

    For Wentz, tennis isn’t just a hobby—it’s personal. “I love tennis. I grew up with it. Tennis has enriched my life,” he told BroBible in an interview at the LA event. “But it also has this air of being impenetrable. It’s not just elitist; it feels like something only certain people are allowed to be part of. The goal of this club is to change that. To make tennis accessible, interesting, and even a little rock-and-roll. If you want to try it, you should try it.”

    this. Especially the older you get. I love tennis but as I’ve aged it’s harder and harder on the body. Pickle ball on the other hand is great for all ages

    Ah pickleball sucks! Tennis is a real man’s game. So you’re older and your joints hurt. Get over it crybabies! lol jk seriously though I do prefer tennis to pickleball and I’m encroaching on 40 myself. Pickleball just feels like mini golf…yeah you’re still playing golf…well kinda…but nah not really….youre just putting over and over again.
