As part of their kick-off for their new paddles, HEAD hosted an NYC mashup yesterday, featuring tennis stars Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Barbora Krejcikova. Callie Jo Smith also joined the crew for this exhibition that leads up to Monday’s start of the US Open. This comes not long after Novak expressed concerns of Pickleball and Padel taking over tennis courts and hurting tennis’s popularity. 

The event was mostly a meet and greet and art show, but near the end the players did participate in some pickleball.

It doesn’t look like Ben Johns needs to be worried about Djokovic anytime soon, but he has enough things to worry about already.

The Picklr Utah Open is happening now!
