HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – South Florida offered all the pickleball one could handle this past weekend with Pickleball Slam 2.

The event was broadcast live Sunday evening in front of an energetic crowd on ESPN and saw Team Agassi and Graf emerge victorious, taking home the biggest single event prize in pickleball history of $1 million. Agassi/Graf defeated McEnroe/Sharapova (11-7, 13-11).

Also participating in Slam 2 as players/coaches were tennis professionals who have made the transition to pickleball: Jack Sock (a professional pickleball player) and James Blake (co-owner, Major League Pickleball’s Milwaukee Mashers). Sock was part of Team Agassi/Graf while Blake joined Team McEnroe/Sharapova.

McEnroe was in top form, bringing his priceless antics and shotmaking to the event. A handful of foot faults early in the competition brought out the best from the tennis legend, who playfully sparred with the referee throughout the night about her "rulings."

The enthusiastic crowd thoroughly enjoyed watching tennis legends struggle at times with America's fastest-growing sport. There were plenty of memorable rallies, shotmaking, gaffes and banter between the competitors and the event proved to be a smashing success.
