About Pickleball Slam Tournament
The inaugural Pickleball Slam will feature two matches: a singles and a doubles. In the legends’ singles, Chang faces Roddick and Agassi faces McEnroe. The second match—the final match of the day—will be a doubles with Chang and McEnroe facing Agassi and Roddick. The four tennis Hall of Famers will compete for a $1 million purse—the largest in pickleball history.
Pickleball’s rules are quite similar to tennis, but the game is played on a court one-third the size, which ratchets up the speed of play considerably. All serves must be underhand, and the ball is hard plastic, giving it considerably less bounce than a regulation tennis ball. Only the side serving can score, and a failure to return a volley by the serving player or team surrenders the serving opportunity to the other side.
