This rule relates to pickleball and is exclusive to tennis players Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.

Today, married Hall of Fame tennis players Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf choose pickleball over tennis, playing it at least three times a week. Since the epidemic, their enthusiasm in the sport has expanded significantly.

At The Breakers Palm Beach on Saturday, during a “Grand Slam Weekend” to commemorate the renowned resort’s new $12 million, 16-court racquet sports complex—which includes 12 tennis courts, two pickleball courts, and two padel courts—Agassi tells PEOPLE, “We like that pickleball is a community driven sport.”

“Pickleball players rapidly get better at the sport. The age keeps decreasing even though all kinds of sports enthusiasts are participating. Graf, 55, and Agassi, 54, found a new sport to master with fewer injury risks than tennis: pickleball, a game in which players use paddles to strike a perforated plastic ball over a net. Agassi and Graf are actually travelling to China and Vietnam this week to promote pickleball. Agassi states, “We truly want to grow the game.” “We play pickleball a lot when we’re not on the road. Playing together is enjoyable because we both participate.

Graf and Agassi like entertaining friends and family with barbecues at their Las Vegas home during their seldom downtime. They live near other family members in addition to their children, Jaden, 23, and Jaz, 21.

Graf, who won 22 Grand Slam titles in her tennis career, tells PEOPLE of their Las Vegas-based lifestyle, “Andre still plays tennis, but I don’t much anymore.” “Learning a new sport during the pandemic and making new friends through pickleball was a lot of fun.”

But their one rule? “We don’t compete with one another. On the same side of the court is what we would desire. “We enjoy entertaining informally, and we particularly enjoy grilling and smoking,” Graf explains.

They have foundations of their own as well. Graf’s, a German organisation, offers therapeutic support to children and their families who have experienced trauma and persecution. For underprivileged children, Agassi’s alters public education. In addition, he works on educational programs and a K–12 public charter school in Las Vegas that bears his name.

This autumn, Agassi will take over as Team World Captain of the Laver Cup, continuing to play the sport that made him famous.

The pair won the Pickleball Slam in February, which is one of the top pickleball competitions that ESPN broadcasts. They now hope that more individuals will take up the sport and have a same passion for it as they do.
