Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Andy Roddick and Michael Chang to Compete for $1 Million USD Prize

19/1/2023

 
By Amy Woodyatt CNN:

Tennis legends Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Andy Roddick and Michael Chang will go head-to-head later this year in pursuit of a $1 million prize – playing pickleball. 
The decorated tennis greats are to contest the Inaugural Pickleball Slam, which will take place on April 2 2023 at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, according to event organizers Horizon Sports & Experiences (HS&E).
Agassi, McEnroe, Roddick and Chang each boast storied careers: 
  • Eight time grand slam winner Agassi retired from tennis in 2006
  • McEnroe, who is a seven-time grand slam singles winner, has become a well-known commentator and pundit
  • Former world no.1 Roddick is the last American man to win a grand slam – he achieved that feat in 2003  
  • Chang is the youngest man to win a tennis major, after bagging the 1989 French Open title at the age of 17
David Levy, co-CEO of HS&E called the pickleball slam a “convergence of culture and sport.”“We look forward to bringing together four of America’s most iconic tennis legends for this groundbreaking competition, which heralds a new milestone for the fastest growing sport in America,” he added.
