Andre Agassi recently showed off his pickleball skills in an intense session with former American tennis player Sam Querrey and others.

Agassi has been vocal about his love for the paddle sport, which has recently gained immense popularity in the USA. The former World No. 1 has considerably improved his pickleball skills since the Slam Event in April this year. He has been frequently hitting the courts in preparation for the second edition of the event, scheduled for February 2024.

Taking to social media, Agassi recently shared a clip of himself training alongside Querrey, a former World No. 11. The duo was accompanied by pickleball players Patrick Kawka and Luke Ness.

"All the good stuff is on the other side of tired... these guys can play," Agassi captioned his Instagram post.

Querrey later labeled Agassi as the 'coolest partner' he has ever played with on the court.

"The coolest partner I've had so far @agassi," he wrote on Instagram.

Agassi was positive about playing pickleball beyond the Slam event's inaugural edition, acknowledging it as a great form of exercise.

"There's tens of millions of people playing the game for obvious reasons. They love it. And I'm one of them. I'm going to play beyond this event just because I've learned it's a great form of exercise outlet," Agassi said. (via USA Today)
