I remember in the 70s playing tennis was so popular you couldn’t get a court. I’ve a tennis fiend friend who thinks the pickleball fad is having the effect of turning kids on to racket sports Thing is, they think pickleball is for old folks so they’re taking up tennis and making it harder for him to get court time.
