Ugh why your every video filled with unnecessary info?? And saying the same things over and over again? Just say the thing.
Lmao at the idea of hitting a wiffle ball with a piece of plastic and considering it a sport.
Tennis is Returning to its society roots. Tennis was and is again a Rich Man Sport. I am a witness of tennis snobbery and economics. Biggest Failure of tennis began in the early 60’s Total Absence of great coaches for the general public. One hour of a coach hitting a bucket of balls for 50 bucks with 5 minutes of strategy and technique NEVER CUT IT!! Men and women left totally disgusted and never returned!! Tennis is returning to being a rich man’s sport! That’s It!!
Tennis is not a rich man's sport. That would be golf. I play tennis almost everyday for free at the local park.
These rule making idiots made the game boring again. What a bunch of snobs!
11:13 - the whole reasoning about "the ball hits the front strings and then the back strings, so it's a double hit" is *complete* bullshit 😂 and everyone involved *absolutely* knew it
Just a fad.
@6:30 bray-den-tin 😂
Both are completely trash and boring
I really wish they had kept blue clay. It was so beautiful.
The problem for me is that too many women has used lies to destroy their partners or non-partners (Johnny Depp found not guilty, Kevin Spacey found not guilty). I don't think it is right for organisastions like ATP to be forced to deal with allegations. And this goes across all industries, male or female.
This is like baseball players getting mad about the rise of softball
I think it's time to tell a long tale...literally, of Isner-Mahut.
With such a weird racquet you seemingly hit the ball twice . . . is that LEGAL ?? in any case ??
If one argues Serena’s the best Tennis player in the world, get out of their world of delusion and save your energy. There shouldn’t be any backlash for logic and reality.
My coach in the 90s had one of these(don't know if it was a real one or if a copy). If you could return the ball 3 times we didn't have to do laps. We always did laps.
she also had a racket that was 4 inches thick at it's thickest part that I can't remember the point of
Well well well
Having played both in highschool pickleball feels like a version of tennis with the barrier of entry removed. Tennis is difficult to get into you have to actually train and learn how to play for hours to not simply get stomped against an actual tennis player. Pickle ball on the other hand, is fun.
Even Nadal couldn't defeat Nole on clay but Federer did it in FO otherwise he would have won all slams
picklewar
Every alternative to tennis is welcome
2024, those said no are retiring or retired, let whimsy old go home, let the new generation try this, let us all keep tennis fresh, innovative, interesting. There were problem, there will be solution, make 2.0. (Roger didn’t say no, so all respect to “the one and only”)
Who cares about this squabbling between players of two sports? Seriously, it's as important as the squabbling between two siblings you don't know. *The real issue is the noise pollution.* That annoying ponk, ponk, ponk harms tons of people who have nothing to do with this sports clash.
Cult Tennis is damn good why isn't he getting the recognition he deserves? Only 140k subs but he deserves atleast 500k...
The people at the top would do anything to stop any change that might remove them from the top. So they will cry and throw tantrums to preserve the "purity" of the sport, and freeze it in time. From new rackets in tennis, to recumbent bikes in cycling, good ideas get banned to preserve a stale status quo.
They're the same game.
I love tennis, but it’s almost impossible to find matches without joining the tennis club, which can be prohibitively expensive. Pickle ball is just more accessible.
I get it, but I'm still mad my gym turned all the outdoor tennis courts to pickleball courts.
the mid-west likes racket ball... ITS COLD OUT SIDE dumb F, there R summer sports which they love, and then need something in the winter, indoor lol...cause basketball and nothing
Federer... the greatest player on clay (blue)
Due to a lower skill barrier, joining Pickleball are Duck Duck Goose and tying your shoes.
yeah, allow it, make it worse, now you can hear them shouting after hitting, exactly when the other about hit, after few years you would hear two grunting at same time. there should be rules about it.
I worked at a sports equipment store a couple years ago, and not only could we not keep pickleballs on the shelves because of how fast they were selling, but we had to protect the rackets as if they were diamonds because of how many were being stolen lmao. Meanwhile, the tennis stuff sat there largely untouched
I grew up as a tennis player so I am a tennis purist, but I understand the appeal of pickleball. But from what I have seen of pickleball infringing on tennis courts is actually absurd. Taking over and if not outright replacing the tennis courts. It's a new and fun sport with a very low entry barrier, so of course it gains popularity. Tennis, however, is an ancient sport with a rich history that has withstood the test of time. Tennis is worthy of respect and having this infringement on its courts by a simpler sport is why tennis players hate it.
Americans have always found ways to create worse versions of sports to be the best at
Andrew, your videos have improved so much! Just listening to this video, your voiceovers back then sounded as miserable as Andy Murray. Hope that new vid comes out too ❤
I feel like telling the player to drink more water shouldn't be considered coaching. It's protecting the player's health, no different to calling the doctor on if they get hurt.
Hey man I like pickle ball a lot actually it’s not a problem to me lmao
Essentially, it's simply a skill issue. Get gud, play tennis
good riddance. tennis fumbled the bag taken over by corruption and elitism
This is old white ppl sport
I've always conflated this with the stabbing of former Beatle George Harrison... Mandela Effect alert!!! Or just faulty memory, as is more the rule than the exception? 🤔 Nah, it's definitely the Mandela Effect, which is a much more exciting explanation, though, so... In an alternate universe, George Harrison was stabbed during a tennis match sometime in the late 90s!!!
Pickle ball is just whiter drunker tennis
lets be honest, they all were lucky Nadal didn't play
I really liked your video. It was interesting to learn about how tennis organizations are screwing themselves through bureaucracy. I don't think you talked about the major reason why pickleball is gaining in popularity. It's easier to play than tennis and you need to be less athletic to play it. I'm 41 and have only been playing a month and have drastically improved my game in such a short timeframe. The point you made on KZread content is critical but I don't want KZread to see the games. I watch it for tips on how to hold the racket, serve, etc. Teenagers can come and play grandparents and get their asses kicked. Not many sports do that (golf?). Plus it's a decent workout. That's why it's fun and popular. It's ridiculously easy for anyone to learn and become reasonably good at in weeks. When I go to the gym I can do the treadmill for cardio or play pickleball for 90 minutes. It's such an easy sell and also a great way to make friends.
I can't get over how it looks exactly like those cheap "tennis" toys bought from a dollar shop. Not only does it look ridiculous, but it has an even more ridiculous name. Crazy.
that intro did it for me man 😂😂
you also missed a prime driver.. the ability to have enjoyable games across even somewhat different skill levels and less classism
your numbers are off… estimated 35 million people played pickleball in 2023
tennis needs people like Kyrgios
