Andy Roddick joked that he and Andre Agassi still look the same after the latter shared a throwback image of the two on social media.

Agassi and Roddick are gearing up for the Inaugural Pickleball Slam to be played in Florida. On April 2, John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and Michael Chang will participate in the Inaugural Pickleball Slam at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida for a $1 million prize.

There will be two singles matches where Roddick will face off against Chang and McEnroe will face off against Agassi. A final doubles match will be played where Agassi and Roddick will form a team.

Agassi, who is pumped up for the upcoming event, took to Twitter to share an old image of him and Roddick.

He went on to tweet:

"APRIL 2ND @ 12pm EST @ESPN #LETSGO!!!"

Roddick took to Twitter to appreciate how the two veteran players still look the same.

"I sure am glad that we both still look the same…… all I see is hair and cheekbones and I’m grateful for this," Roddick tweeted.

While one fan was unhappy that the former World No. 1 was participating in the upcoming sport, Roddick suggested that he would turn to the dark side for one day.

"Andy please don't cross over to the dark side, otherwise known as pickleball," the fan tweeted.
"I will for a day :)," Roddick replied.
