Andy Roddick jokingly accused Andre Agassi of cheating on him after picking his wife, Steffi Graf, up for the second edition of the Pickleball Slam next year.
The event the former greats are set to play is not a tennis event but a pickleball exhibition. Last year, the first edition of the Pickleball Slam was played between former tennis players Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Michael Chang, and John McEnroe.
It proved a huge success as many people tuned in and we will get a second edition. It's named in the same way the first one was named - Pickleball Slam with just the two added to signal the second edition.
The participants will be similar as Agassi will be returning, but he'll play with his wife, Steffi Graf, as opposed to Andy Roddick.

John McEnroe appears to have ignited the mind games with Andre Agassi ahead of the second edition of the Pickleball Slam that will see the two tennis greats lock horns.
McEnroe and Agassi account for a combined 15 Grand Slams in singles and have each been ranked at No. 1 during their glittering playing careers. They met four times on the Atp Tour, with the head-to-head tied at 2-2. However, their careers didn't quite intertwine.
Just as Agassi rose through the ranks, McEnroe was in the twilight of his career. But their short-lived rivalry will be rekindled in a lucrative one-off pickleball match set to take place on February 4, 2024, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The energetic McEnroe will team up with former Wta No. 1 Maria Sharapova, while Agassi will join forces with his wife and one of the most decorated champions in tennis history, Steffi Graf.

After a 21-year absence, the Hong Kong Open will return to Victoria Park Tennis Centre to herald the start of the 2024 men's tennis season.
Running from January 1st to 7th, this tournament will be an essential destination for the Atp players looking to finetune their games in the buildup to the season's first Grand Slam at the Australian Open.
The Hong Kong Open was a prominent event in the 90s with a gaudy list of former champions. Whoever wins the 2024 edition is primed to etch his name among some of the game's greats on the honor roll.
The biggest name in the recently-released entry list is that of World No. 5 Andrey Rublev. The Russian has fared brilliantly in the opening weeks of the season in the past. He won two titles at the turn of the year (in 2020) and was an Atp Cup champion the following season.

American tennis has been very good historically, and it's trending to be that way once more in the coming years.
It seems that American tennis has been on the rise for a few years now. While more experienced players like Taylor Fritz , Frances Tiafoe , and Tommy Paul stabilized as very good tennis players, some new talents like Sebastian Korda and Ben Shelton emerged in recent years.
It's a great time for US tennis, with plenty of new youngsters coming through the ranks as well, but for the first time in 26 years, there are four American men ranked in the Top 15 of Atp Rankings.
The last time that happened was in 1997 when Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Michael Chang, and Todd Martin were those men ranked in the top 15.

Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, probably the most iconic player in the history of the game.
Federer's impact on tennis is incredible. From the legendary career that he crafted to the global impact, he had as the 'perfect' ambassador to the sport. His career inspired many of the players we have today with the vast majority considering him as their idol. It's why some consider him the greatest of all time even though stats might say it's somebody else.
Federer's arrival in tennis catapulted the sport to new heights becoming a global phenomenon. No player was ever as popular as Federer is and that wide support is not wavering even now a year after his retirement. It's been a year but a busy year for Federer who still has all eyeballs on himself wherever he goes.

Former Grand Slam winners John McEnroe, Andy Roddick, Andre Agassi and Michael Chang will swap the tennis court for pickleball this weekend.
In a televised event on ESPN, the former Atp tennis professionals will face off in singles and double pickleball events to help raise the sport's profile.
It will be a new challenge for the quartet, who have 17 Grand Slam titles between them. When speaking to SCNow about the competition, Andy Roddick said participating in pickleball comes with new challenges compared to tennis.
"As I’m walking through the (pickleball) rules, I saw they took away my youth with (limited) movement, and they took away my serve with having to serve underhand. so I’m not really sure what’s left."
Roddick said to SCNow
The tennis veterans will enter a singles knockout competition before moving on to the doubles event and a $1 million purse is on offer to the winners.

The two men on the tennis court look exhausted, hitting the ball weakly over the net; one of them, the guy with the glorious mane of Andre Agassi hair, barely has enough energy to throw his racquet and yell obscenities at the judges.

His 1996 film Goodbye South, Goodbye was named by Cahiers du Cinema as one of the three best films of the 1990s, while his last completed feature was 2007’s Flight of the Red Balloon, starring Juliette Binoche.

Chicago – It always takes a few minutes for viewers to adjust their eyes to the stiff, herky-jerky movements of characters in a direct-to-video animated film from DC Comics. “Superman vs. The Elite” opens with a cheeseball caricature of the Man of Steel headlining an outdated kiddie cartoon. It’s pretty silly, but at least the satirical characters are far more expressive than the “real” Superman once he rears his blandly noble head.
Yet as soon as I was ready to write off this seemingly disposable release, it won me over with its witty banter, topical themes and a villain who could prove to be a real showstopper if he was brought to the big screen. If Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Superman” reboot is a solid hit, then I suggest that studios consider Joe Kelly’s Action Comics yarn, “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?” as source material for the sequel.

If Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Superman” reboot is a solid hit, then I suggest that studios consider Joe Kelly’s Action Comics yarn, “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?” as source material for the sequel.

In the 1940s, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster produced a two-pager for Life that showed if the Man of Steel were alive, he’d grab Hitler and Mussolini and bring them to justice, saving countless millions of lives. A nice bit of wish fulfillment during World War II.
In the 1970s, comic book writers began exploring what it really means to have someone as powerful as Superman operating in a world much like ours. Writer Elliot S! Maggin was among the first to bring up this theme more than once and was followed in subsequent years by a variety of others, reflecting the different perspectives of the creators and tastes of the audiences.
Just in time for Action Comics’ 775th issue in 2001, Joe Kelly became the latest writer to tackle the concept. After all, the world’s problems — ethnic strife, religious warriors, belligerent regimes, and destruction of the eco-system – could...

Check out a new clip and some new images from D.C. and Warner Bros.’ “Superman vs. The Elite”, the latest in their line of original animated movies based on D.C.’s characters. Basically, it’s the Batman/Superman original movie line for all the variety they offer. I wish they would do some other characters, but I guess Bats and Supes sells. In Superman Vs. The Elite, Superman’s effectiveness as a super hero comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders, known as “The Elite,” appear on the scene. As super heroes, the Elite know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive scale, to stop villainy — putting them on a collision course with the ever-ethical, yet preferably non-lethal Man of Steel. “Superman vs. The Elite” is directed by Michael Chang (“Batman: Brave and the Bold”), and is...

DC Comics Premiere and Warner Home Video have released three new short clips featuring members of The Elite in action, plus new images from the upcoming original animated movie. Check them out below, check them outers. It’s funny, the Elite looked way more powerful in the comics. Almost Godlike in their abilities. Here, though, they sort of look somewhat average, even generic. In Superman Vs. The Elite, Superman’s effectiveness as a super hero comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders, known as “The Elite,” appear on the scene. As super heroes, the Elite know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive scale, to stop villainy — putting them on a collision course with the ever-ethical, yet preferably non-lethal Man of Steel. Featuring the voices of George Newbern as Superman, Pauley Perrette as Lois Lane, and directed by Michael Chang.
