this would be more worrying if the news were that Sinner woke up this morning and decided to switch to pickle. Rubin's not old but his tennis career never really went anywhere after juniors and finished with a 8–21 singles record over 7 years of pro.

I totally understand the mass appeal of pickle, with its far lower entry bar for people of all ages and fitness levels. tennis can be a big pain to progress in and depending on who you're playing with can be a lot more running after balls rolling across other courts or flying over the fence, in comparison to rally time.

the day that the sports networks start replacing tennis coverage with pickle is when I'll start protesting. I suck at tennis myself but I will always enjoy watching superhumans make it look easy.
