Tennis legend Andre Agassi (55) competed in a pro pickleball event for the first time. His partner was world No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters. In the first round, they beat the young pairing of 13-year-old Stevie Petropoulos and 16-year-old Tristan Dusseau 11-8, 9-11, 11-7.<\/p>\n
In the second round they lost to the pairing of Tran Huynh-McClain and Len Yan 7-11, 11-4, 11-7, but after the match Agassi commented, \"I got to feel how fun this sport is.\" However, he showed a cautious stance on future participation, saying, \"I don't intend to become a full-time pro pickleball player. I'm in a different season of life now.\"<\/p>\n
