If the tennis courts were in constant use, as are pickleball courts, they wouldn't be converting those courts to pickleball. I walk by the tennis courts in our community on a regular basis and they are always empty -- all six of them. But the two courts that have been converted to pickleball are in constant use. I loved watching tennis in the McEnroe/Borg/Connors/Nastase era -- serve and volley. Today's best players go into long and often boring exchanges where the player with the best endurance wins. Frankly, I've lost interest. But I can sit and watch pickleball players for an entire afternoon. They're not always the best players, but they're always exciting. BTW, today's young people are more interested in playing video games than working up a sweat on the tennis court. It's a dying sport. My opinion -- No hate-mail please!
