PARIS — Amélie Mauresmo removed her black blazer and prepared to get into the swing of things on the grounds of the French Open. Tennis, anyone? Nope, not on this day.
“I’m not sure it’s the same crowd that are doing these different sports,” Mauresmo said. “And if you put it in a tennis club, that means people might come to play pickleball, but then they see tennis and it can maybe attract new people.” “We want people to come and enjoy and do exercise for health. Tennis is a difficult sport, and sometimes you need to enjoy and learn something quickly - and padel or pickleball is much easier for most people,” Moretton said.“You have to get used to the rules - I didn’t know all the rules at the beginning - but then it’s much easier than tennis,” Moretton said. “So I think pickleball is going to be big in France.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Tennis Association said the group that runs the U.S. Open has no plans to partner with pickleball or padel.
