6 Months After Alarming Tennis of Pickleball Threat, Elon Musk Takes a Giant Step Towards Growth of Trending Racket Sport

Elon Musk’s love for Pickleball sport has taken an interesting turn as this business tycoon recently opened a bodega with a pickleball court. Now fans already know that Musk made a bold remark about the growth of this sport. While this tweet was almost six months ago, Elon Musk made sure fans don’t forget about his newfound love. Now that he opened up a bodega with a pickleball court, it is clear that he wants people to get more interested in this sport.

Now Pickleball has gained a lot of spotlight since John McEnroe and Andre Agassi shared a tennis banter on its debut slam. This year even Maria Sharapova willingly joined this sport on its second slam event. However, Elon Musk’s idea to bring more crowd to pickleball is nothing less than a smart move.

The pickleball craze is truly going to its peak since Elon Musk brought a dedicated court for this paddle sport in his newly opened bodega in Barstop. This means grabbing a quick snack will be more fun since people can try out this sport in the bodega. The Hyperloop Plaza bodega was envisioned to change into something new by Elon Musk a long time ago.

He just wanted to change this boring place into something fun. Now that there is a pickleball court in this bodega, people will surely find grabbing snacks more fun than usual. Musk’s new bodega is more than just a warehouse filled with delicious, soda, coffee, snacks, wine, and beer with other items.

In this new bodega, the exclusive addition is the pickleball court. Elon Musk’s project wanted to make it unconventional, and he also plans to create a town nearby. The pickleball decision seems to be very interesting, however, in the recent past, Elon Musk received some backlash because of his comment about the sport.

Musk’s bold comment about pickleball’s success over tennis received backlash from Andy Roddick

Musk’s tweet about Pickleball’s success seemed harsh to the tennis fans. He wrote- “Pickleball will crush tennis. Way more convenient.” Soon, veteran tennis star, Andy Roddick responded to this comment in his way. He said- “And it will never crush tennis. It’s so much fun to play but it’s not even comparable as a viewer. Ping pong is also really fun would rather be kicked in the nuts than watch it on TV.”

Despite all the controversy, Elon Musk’s new pickleball enthusiasm seems to be a great opportunity for people to try out this sport. Following John McEnroe and Andre Agassi’s support, will it gain a popularity base like tennis?
