Is pickleball’s rise a threat to tennis? In his latest mailbag, jon_wertheim looks at the sporting craze sweeping the nation and discusses whether Novak Djokovic could play the U.S. Open by…driving to New York?

borders to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and to provide proof of vaccination. Advance copies of notices to be published in the Federal Register are now available.”Why is it such a big deal [Djokovic] is missing a couple of majors?! Every great champion has. Rafa has missed tons—so what? Novak made his choice—not feeling it for him. He is injury free so he has the bandwidth to be an anti-vax brat and skip. His choice.I am torn here.

This is like someone saying: “Country X demands you pass through security before getting on a plane. But I hate security lines. I hate patdowns—hey, man, my body. I read a study that. I don’t have a weapon; and a guy with a weapon once got through so it just goes to prove, TSA lines are bogus. Only sheep go through security lines.”

As for the reader question, they have answered it themself. Players, especially as they age, miss Majors, yes. You bake that into the career terms and conditions. But when it happens, it’s often devastating. Andy Murray is reduced to tears because his body won’t let him play Majors. Same for Federer. Look at the lengths Serena and Venus go through to avoid retirement and to continue playing Majors north of 40.

jon_wertheim To me it's like asking if wiffleball is a threat to baseball. I think people will go from pickleball to tennis as it's a much better workout in my opinion

jon_wertheim Nothing wrong with the sport itself. All for people getting out and being healthy, but stealing tennis courts and repurposing them needs to stop.
