Tennis legend Andre Agassi has teamed up with JOOLA to launch a line of pickleball equipment and accessories.
This announcement comes on the 30th anniversary of Agassi’s first U.S. Open victory, marking a significant milestone for the athlete as he dives deeper into pickleball.
“Pickleball is not just a sport; it’s a community, and it’s growing at an incredible pace,” Agassi said in the announcement.
“Partnering with JOOLA allows me to bring my experience and dedication to pickleball. Together, we’re going to create something special that reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and performance.”
The partnership isn’t just about paddles and gear—it's about a shared vision for the future of the sport.
But the news doesn’t stop with Andre. The Agassi Collection is set to expand with contributions from another tennis legend—Agassi’s wife, Steffi Graf.
Graf will develop her own line of equipment tailored specifically for female and international players.
