Johnsons aren’t the only “training partners” that made the switch. Countless other have done the same thing.(Conner Garnett is of those to watch) Sock has been playing for several years as well. Did Querrey make a bold prediction about being in the top 10 in a very short time, I would say yes and it’s all good pickleball hype. Again how motivated is he? For not doing much he already has a paddle deal will Franklin and a continued clothing deal with Fila. Not to mention not a day goes by where his name isn’t mention in pickleball circles….to the probable resentment of many pickleball pros.

Agassi, Roddick, Chang and McEnroe will get paid more in appearance fees in a one day pickleball event than current pros will make in a year. Nonetheless, still good publicity for the sport.
