Plus, he liked the idea of his work being concentrated in one place, rather than scattered at various tennis courts all over LA. A standard pickleball court is 20 feet wide by 44 feet long, much smaller than a tennis court.

Sam Querrey a scăpat ieftin după ce a fugit din Rusia. El a fost sancționat pentru că a încălcat protocoalele sanitare anti-COVID-19 la turneul de la Sankt-Petersburg din luna octombrie. Totodată, Querrey nu va plăti amenda, dacă timp de 6 luni nu va comite o altă încălcare a regulamentelor ATP. ATP a concluzionat că atitudinea lui Sam Querrey a fost contrară integrităţii jocului aşa cum este definită în codul său de conduită. Tenismanul de 33 ani a fost nevoit să abandoneze competiția de la Sankt-Petersburg din cauza testării sale pozitive, dar şi a membrilor familiei la COVID-19 pe 11 octombrie.
