Tennis has kind of a snotty reputation besides being slow and boring. Surprises me that it’s still fairly popular. Ended up in Palm Springs the night before a big tennis tournament and almost had to drive on to LA. Everything was booked. Pickleball is crowding tennis but not getting rid of it. Ironically, if I make it through the US Open Pickleball lottery, I would have to play Ivan Lendl…the tennis player.

I hear you, however I also want to deliberately misinterpret part of your statement. https://tennisone.tennisplayer.net/club/lessons/brown/speed/depth.php Tennis as far as the speed of the ball is concerned is one of the fastest ball sports around, with professionals serving over 100+mph serves.
