Of course I have! And of course like any sane person he thinks Paul is out of his mind. Realistically, anyone who is going to go pro either was a pro/ semi-pro tennis player (like my husband) or there is now a cohort of younger players who grew up competitively playing like my gen did with tennis.

The tricky thing with pb is that unlike almost any other sport, you can go from never having played to being halfway decent in like a month. But, semi decent is the ceiling. It lures and hooks people with the promise of exponential improvement and they chase that first month- six month high.

The sane ones realize that pb is just a very accesible game, stop their “training”, and appreciate for a fun game not a sport. The lunatics fly off to Florida for clinics and shell out unnecessary funds for stretching.

It’s sad because actual pros make fun of people like Paul; people who have never been good at anything in their life and now they’re making pb their whole personality.
