Naomi Osaka also invested in pickleball. James Blake felt a bit bitter when Kim Clijsters also announced her involvement in pickleball.
"Welcome to the league, Kim Clijsters. I started as the best athlete of the owners. Then Drew Brees came along. But at least I stayed the best tennis player.
Now I’ve got nothing," wrote James Blake on Twitter."Thanks for the welcome," Clijsters replied along with a laughing emoji.
Clijsters talked about her decision to invest in pickleball.
“Of course, I’m excited at the investment opportunity. But what excites me the most about becoming an MLP owner is that I get to help shape the future of pickleball, a sport I have come to love, with great people – who also happen to be some of my best friends.I’m thrilled to help showcase professional pickleball and make an impact on the sport through my experience gained in the top levels of professional tennis," Clijsters said.
