Following their win, Steffi Graf opened up about dealing with nerves before the contest. However, she emphasized that she greatly enjoyed the experience once she got onto the court, expressing her delight at the special atmosphere.

"It’s been a lot of fun. Before we started, I had a lot of nerves, and I haven’t felt that in many years. It’s a great crowd, and it’s really special," she said (via USA Today).

While Steffi Graf kicked off her Pickleball Slam 2 campaign with a win, she admitted to having a "hard time" letting go of her tennis instincts in the lead-up to the event.

"Goodness, I’m still trying to unlearn (tennis). I have not had an easy time. I want to move around. I want to hit the ball. I don’t want to slow down and be patient, waiting for the right moment to attack," Steffi Graf said.
"I tend to want to keep my feet moving. That’s what I learned in tennis. My mind knows what I should be doing, but my body is not quite ready to let that tennis mind go," she added.

Graf also shed light on her experience of training alongside Andre Agassi, disclosing that while they experienced moments of frustration, they were good at calming each other down.

"We know when we get to our boiling points or when we get upset with ourselves. We are able to pick each other up pretty well," she said.
"But it has happened the last few months that a paddle kind of, you know, slipped out of the hand and just kind of went into flying into a corner. But that’s because we’re mad at ourselves. It’s been a challenge for me — a good challenge," she added.
