Pickleball Slam 2 is one of the primary events that tennis fans and pickleball fans are waiting for. The two duos of John McEnroe and Maria Sharapova and Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are supposed to compete with each other at the tournament. Owing to the sportsmanship and team building before the tournament, one of the duos of McEnroe and Sharapova decided to engage in a playful chit-chat.
What surprisingly started as a fun activity surely turned into a trash talk session as McEnroe did not leave the first chance to bring down his opponent Andre Agassi during the conversation.

But when Sharapova mentioned Agassi, the first response which almost came out instantly to McEnroe was, “Chump from last year”. After that Sharapova and McEnroe laughed that off and decided to give this another try. And the next response McEnroe gave was, “bald”.
The fun game turned into a trash talk session for their competitors. Well, we expect nothing less. But McEnroe is not the only one who is into the competitive side of the sport. Agassi is all into it as well. In fact, just a few days back he mentioned how he is looking forward to winning against McEnroe and taking his money.
