So fun to watch these great players enjoying this sport 👍
Appreciate you 🫡
Not sure if they do enjoy it..? Andy roddick hates pickleball ….played it just for a cash grab
I'm a tennis player who's learned pickleball. It's fun to play but I get bored quickly watching it. Here are two of the greatest tennis players in history and you can't really see their talent because the nature of the game masks the athletic greatness that tennis brings out. Pickleball is a much more accessible game for the masses (a la its popularity), but if I had to watch a 5 hour, 5 set pickleball match, I'd be asleep by the 2nd set.
Nightly night then 😴😴
athletic greatness? These guys look like they can barely run
@@thepickleballslamhe’s right though
this is like 4.0 singles lmao
3.0 tops lol@@ryanb3721
Two legends !!! Awesome !!!
it's going to be EVEN MORE LEGENDARY
Agreed
Mac is just a National Treasure. Just the most talented guy to ever pick up a racket . Any kind of racket
🫶
I am sure he would agree with and more.
his feel on the ball, his soft hand, his positioning at the net.
nobody does it quite like johnny mac
As an avid Tennis player...I think pickleball is cool after having played it a few times. I get the war between the 2 but there should be no war. Enjoy both! I really enjoy seeing these past Tennis players playing this new sport. Who would have thought? It's awesome. I love it.
you sir.... we like you ❤️
Tennis feels threaten by pickleball. I know this, my tennis club scared of loosing members to pickleball
Pickleball as a sport, has many advantages...!!!!

@@good2freelance1Because tennis is already over, they just don’t realize it yet.
These PB games with older tennis stars are a hoot!

A classic rivalry reborn! Love it.
So fun to watch, love these two.
❤️ you
John McEnroe looks great. Amazing. I was watching him in the 80's when I was a little kid.
🫡
And now you are watching him in HIS 80s hahah.
John in the 80s was so loud and a noxious and great!!!
🫡
That was awesome man
I truly love these guys!!!!...😂
🫶
Agassi's forehand is classic!
So strong
This was epic!!👍💯
more to come 👀
Thanks for posting these, I'm enjoying them. I don't understand the visceral hatred in the comments. Imagine feeling threatened by a sport like this. Geez...
They’re scared of the popularity of pickleball.

Pickleball is just like ping pong, except you are standing on the table.
Uhhh no
Can't volley in table tennis.
Meh, only sorta. Some similarities. But not “the same.”
@@rbf1nutter
Pickleball has been around since the 60's
@@thepickleballslam Learn to play tennis and stop pretending lol other countries laugh at us for this hobby hahah typical Americans finding short cuts to be athletic.
This is actually very entertaining.
omg epic game by legends
This is not a “Sophie’s Choice” situation, players can play either sport, another sport, both sports. How you cross train is your bliss, not mine. Bad-mouthing a healthy choice for exercising is narrow minded. Just get off the couch and on a court, any court, and endorphins will do the rest. Be respectful & inclusive. (The reason why RALLY SCORING is being used: OLYMPICS on TV. ) Enjoy it all.
💯 best take in the comments we’ve heard so far
So you're comparing a horrifying scene in a Holocaust film to choosing tennis over that other activity. That's a level of stupid n ignorance previously unknown.
Fun game to watch. Interesting to see their games adapt as they go.
As a tennis player i share the frustration of pickleball taking up tennis courts in places where there is already very limited tennis court availability. As a pickleball player, I mostly blame that on park and rec departments (and pickleball players) not thinking out of the box enough on where pickleball courts can be set up. Literally any court surface and even well maintained parking lot surfaces can be converted to pickleball courts, especially for lower level play. Feels like an unforced error for parks and rec to make pickleball vs tennis a zero sum game....
Also, i would throw an argument out there that pickleball has the potential to massively increase tennis interest if embraced correctly. Ive had many younger non tennis pickleball players look at a high level tennis players' pickleball drives and overheads and realized the fastest way to improve those shots in pickleball may be to figure out the technique in tennis first where the strings make power/spin generation more intuitive. Best way to practice proper overhead technique? Grab a bucket of tennis balls and learn the tennis serve. Just my two cents though...
I would pay $1 for that two cents worth of advice 💯
Very sensible advice.
Wrong …the fundamentals of pickleball are totally different
I'd love to see a Courier Sampras PB, or Federer Nadal, or Graf Seles.
I have a feeling these two each got a payday from the National Pickleball Association.
This event has no affiliation with that
@@thepickleballslam ok
John McEnroe vs. Dana White!
🎾🎾🎾 It figures. The most exciting pickleball match is played by tennis players that just recently started playing....
I’ve played tennis more than 30 years and I’m embarrassed by the closed-mindedness in these comments.
Agreed
Agree,the best athletes in there time,I want to see anyone do what they did and still play good with there charisma and friendship!! Never give up Guys!!
I was in HS was McEnroe was #1. His mannerism is still the same. This is like a time warp....
I’m impressed that Phil Collins can play so well!
bro 💀
I agree with the comment about getting bored watching this - return & volley every point!! no variety - no judgement on John & Andre - that is the best tactic - just very dull. Played Padel last week - so much more diverse
lol Johnny Mac is so serious and competitive in EVERYTHING. He probably talks trash playing basketball with kids.
teach them young I guess
I subscribed because of John McEnroe! What a Legend this man is .. always enjoyable watching him .
love having you here 🫶
Damn I missed out on the press conference
Don’t miss out on round two February 4th at 8:30pm est on espn!
Great seeing these guys and others out competing, but it would be even better if there were regularly 2-3 American male players going deep into Grand Slam tournaments. Been way too long.
Did the rules change? I thought you only score pts when you serve? Maybe IDK the singles rules that well.
rally scoring
Tennis pro players serve deep then comes in for net win as quickly. Quite different to typical pickle ball players.
definitely a learning curve to it
Si me duermo, però son dos grandes, no pueden demostrar todo lo que saben, es como jugar voleas, en la playa. 👍🎾
Ellos son leyendas 🫡
What shoes are Agassi wearing? They look like his old Tech Challenges from the 90s
the Mac attacks!
I want to know too, looks like the model called "Hot Lava"
Agassi class for letting him win one
🤷♂️
If Andre had retired alongside Pete in 2002 or immediately after his Australian Open win in 2003 he may have saved his back. I hate to see Andre looking so old and sore. God bless him.
He's having the best time just enjoying this sport that should be enough for you
He kept playing until he couldn’t do it anymore. All the while saying “I hate tennis”. Such a liar.
@@tintanews The truth is a bit more complicated. He actually fell in love with tennis around the time he started dating Steffi Graf. He kept on playing because he wanted his kids to see their dad at work and also to make money for his charter school. As I said, it's complicated and so is Andre Agassi. That's why we love him more than Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
@@zoltanrudolf He was wealthy by the time he opened his charter school. I read his book OPEN 3 times and, as a book editor myself having worked with so many authors, know he lied. I met him in person too. He often criticised Brooke Shields's (I dont think he ever loved her) Hollywood world (he was jealous of her), meanwhile he dated Barbra Streisand, one of Tinseltown's most famous stars. Anyway, never liked him. He felt entitled. Glad Brooke walked away. He wanted someone who could follow him, a stay at home wife, etc, etc. Brooke wasn't the girl. Keep loving him.
@@thepickleballslam Enough for me? What a strange thing to say!
NO ONE GONA TELL HIM ABOUT THAT THING ON HIS LIP?
IT'S A MICROPHONE
@@thepickleballslam No it's not, lol.
Next up Larry vs Magic on an 8ft basketball rim
I've not played pickleball, yet. I'm surprised by how slow the ball appears, particularly considering these two guys. I was expecting ball speed more like ping pong. I guess the ball is not as _live_ as I thought... and/or the paddles don't permit as much control as tennis (or ping pong), so you don't want to whack it as hard...?
Amazing skills by both players given their age and obvious decline in stamina from their peak playing years.
why you gotta say this
OMG DON'T BREAK A HIP JOHNNY BOY....LOL
oh mannn 💀
Would love to see a pickleball match between Jmac and Connors
👀👀
Between the constant droning on of the umpire and constant blabber from the chorus of commentators, i wanted to switch off. The only thing that kept me watching was McEnroes entertainment level.
We hope you stick around 🫶
The ball colour hard to see against the grey court no?
At times
Regulation ball color 🤷♂️
you make a good point. the court is too bright a grey colour.
@@moodymoral that’s what I meant
Andre doesn't look like he has aged at all
This man still has game!
Funny, how the announcer said it's rally scoring. Actually it's Not rally scoring. I guess he didn't know the definition of rally scoring.
happens
Andre looks older than John
Do the organizers have any idea we cant see the ball? Either you change the color of the court or the ball. Its a simple fix no use in me watching and struggling to see. And i like this sport
we got you, friend!
Agassi still has that strange waddle
Agassi should wear a hat, he blinds people when light reflex off his head
Boom roasted
Here’s why the great debate is happening. Most tennis players that frown upon pickle ball, including me, do so because it’s like, damn, if you just had more grit in you, you wouldn’t mind the extended court and speed tennis demands. Pickleball is too inviting for non racket players.
So you’d rather sports be not inviting for all to enjoy?
@@thepickleballslam I’m saying do whatever. I’m just trying to parse why it irks me. And for me at least, it has to do with people that would be fine tennis players resigning to pickle ball because it seems easier. I respect it for what it is, and it’s glorified mini tennis 😂
A sport that's too inviting? What a weird thing to gatekeep
@@thepickleballslamWell traditionally a sport is not for one to enjoy. It's a challenge and a opportunity to lift yourself up to a higher level.
Kiss my grits
OMG Agassi looks older than McEnroe
Agassi looks great stop it
@@thepickleballslam he has like at least 20 kilos more as he should
Glad Andre decided to burn his obvious wig
Huh
McEnroe about to be 65...wow. Andre a baby at 53.
everybody the same age in pickleball
The first argument John ever won in 40 years and he plays a let and loses the point. Further proof that nice guys finish last lol. It is not the same not seeing John's normal serve.
it do be like that sometimes
@@thepickleballslam I like how John was lost and in shock when she agreed with him lol.
Agassi choked after he was up 12-8. They’re injecting drama into a game which doesn’t reward athleticism. Not exactly a spectator sport either. However, it’s getting all types of people and ages to get their exercise.
it was most certainly a spectator sport
Court colour is terrible for the broadcast, makes it difficult to see the ball!
We got you! 🫡
thought these dudes would be better at this
No serve. No running. No tennis.
they should play each other in basket weaving
See you at basket weaving championship 2024 🫡
Come on John! Are you serious? You aren't playing with basketballs!
😂
Money must be tight for them to play pickleball
Life must be nice allowing them to enjoy pickleball
@@thepickleballslam Name recognition, ownership, new challenge, buddies ...
@goggleboy2464 it doesn't need the promotion, both benefit from it. I play tennis and pickleball, they are both fun.
@@douglasminor9483 of course it needs the promotion. Not benefitting tennis at all. Usta is a joke
@@goggleboy2464 already been the fastest growing sport in America for several years, before tennis players started promoting it.
John has a booger on his face 😂
Fair…. But it’s a mic 😂
Without personalities tennis is barely watchable even fir those play the game. Mac and Andre the tennis players and personalities of all time
This is gonna be a fun one to watch
Love pickleball because you dint have to destroy your body to play
Mac's serve is almost illegal.
It's pretty high
Looked good to the umpires 🤷♂️
Looks good to us!
@@thepickleballslam @7:25 is just one of many. That serve is 100% illegal. They aren't calling it because its not gaining him an advantage and this is an exhibition match.
@@dv8tion388 looks nearly legal to me, upward arc until he hit the ball, still under the hip, only rule I can see it breaking is the paddle face is likely above his wrist on contact (the compression of youtube really makes it hard to tell...). But yea, its not gaining him an advantage, and it was a game mostly for fun it looked like. But also im sure no ref wants to call out McEnroe 😂
Is the lob no good in pickleball?
Holy hell Agassi looks old AF
Don’t be mean chuck
As great as these guys are in tennis they don't hold a candle to top pickleball players so don't decide pickleball is a boring sport based on how it is played by 2 old tennis players.
Less running so knees preservation
No problem with that 👍
0:01 OMG Agassi is "morphing" into some otherworldly creature...very disturbing
I'm sure you're quite the looker
So who won the match? This appears to only be the first game.
Check out the newest match video!
@@thepickleballslam you should put Part 1/2 at the end of the title so people know there is another one... One of the battle of the ages, not to be missed 😉
Agassi sta diventando Gerry Scotti
Agassi >
Mac is 11 years older than Agassi.
And…
@@thepickleballslam … just commenting that Mac looks pretty good for 64 and holding his own against a 53 year old.
Aaaaand, Mac hates pickleball while Andre has been practicing with his wife/legend non stop. Proof that Mac has more talent and is also in better shape.
@@michaelscoots “Mac hates Pickleball” … is that true?
He looked pretty comfortable out there on the court and yes, I agree, in very good shape for a 64 year old.
@@evidencebased1 Yes! Check him out on the Smartless podcast (recent episode). He was also in another TH-cam interview saying as much.
what is that on Johns upper lip?
microphone
While screaming a huge booger stuck to his lip
Nice except fur Macs illegal serve motion.
🤷♂️🤷♂️
🙄🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️Commentators talking about how to play for two Wimbledon and US Open champions who've probably just picked up the sport before the game. Geesh!
Why are all the points in double speed
Cause we can
Who won ?
stay tuned 👀
You cannot see the ball …..not the right color for the court …blue is much better 😊
Ask and you shall receive 🙏
I thought you could only score when serving. This is messed up.
Check out our doubles video!
sounds like a dumb rule…literally no other sport has this “only score when serving” rule. that in of itself is enough to turn me off from pickleball.
Agassi’s paddle way out classes johns…someone buy John a carbon fiber !
💀
3 shot rallies. Terrible. If this replaces tennis I would be astounded. Sounds terrible , looks frustrating because of the lack spin and power. I just don’t get it!
Try it.
try it and have some fun, it's just meant to be a great sport everyone can enjoy together
agreed
Agassi looks like a plumped up turkey. Poor chap.
Big words from a keyboard warrior

How to take the exercise out of tennis, play pickleball.
Guess you haven’t played before 😂
Tennis more fun to watch, pickleball more fun to play
Why can’t these two sports just coexist?
A lot harder to play
Nike = The Chinese Check Mark
who comes here to post that?
1:19 allready bored to death. Bye
Later ✌️
someter a estos mountros del tenis leyendas... a este juego estupido y ridiculo.... no puede en otro lugar que EE UU esta practica
ehhhhhh
The OG tennis community absolutley WEEPS at the notion that these tennis legends would stoop to legitimize this. Follow the money.
The tennis community should realize multiple sports can exist peacefully
Not when they play on the same court surface. Not when tennis courts are being converted to pickleball courts. Pickleball is "touch" football - cute but not a sport. @@thepickleballslam
JFC 🤦🏽♂️
what does that mean?
I played both Andre and John on the tennis court in the early 80’s. Good luck guys in your quest here…
That’s so cool!
@@thepickleballslam yup. I treasure the 6 Grand Slam champions I got the honor to play against. Andre was determined to succeed back when we were both elite protégés of Nick. I told him (and everyone there) that I had dated Brooke Shields (before 1985) and I can only imagine that my story krept in to his head and one day they got married…crazy coincidence! Then after they broke up, I told him that I met Steffi in person and that she’s actually beautiful and stunning and has the most amazing eyes. And that her body was perfection. To my surprise, he ended up marrying her too…oh the wonders of the mind and life!
@@PrecisionPointTennisSo your saying you can live rent free in Andre's mind super easily? No wonder Sampras beat him so much 😅. But dating Brooke Shields....good on you mate!!
@@ryaniam22 I have no idea what Andre thought of anything I said but someday when I catch up with him in person, they’ll be some fun conversations there for sure! 😉
@@PrecisionPointTennis Haha nice. That so cool you played against these guys....and I guess was even one of them for a while! I friggin love tennis. Such an awesome, entertaining sport, and the athletes who play it...men and women are just dope
That’s Andre Agassi???
who you?
This is soooo vanilla 🙄
This wasn’t an ice cream review…
@@thepickleballslam 😂😂
Nice one! Touché
They aren’t scoring correctly for pickleball. You only get points when you serve but perhaps they feel the game would drag on too long?
🤷♂️
They're playing rally scoring, which means a point is won on every rally, regardless of who is serving.
@@bobcurtis3958 thanks. I learned something new
@@bobcurtis3958 ... which (in tournaments) permits a speedy outcome. In pickleball with under just 4 courts permits less waiting time because they all end in similar time phrame.... and ends (for this seniors!) the game with less aggrevasion.
