The fourth Pickleball Slam is scheduled for April 15, 2026, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. This year's competition features a thrilling 'Battle of the Sexes' format, with tennis legends Andre Agassi and James Blake facing off against pickleball stars Anna Leigh Waters and Genie Bouchard. Waters, currently ranked No. 1 in all three pickleball disciplines, will make her debut in this event, while Agassi and Blake aim to leverage their tennis skills in the new sport. The event, inspired by the success of golf's 'The Match,' combines a large prize purse with a high-profile venue and broadcasting on ESPN. The inaugural Pickleball Slam in 2023 set records for attendance and viewership, and this year's event seeks to build on that momentum by incorporating prominent pickleball players, thus enhancing the sport's visibility and competitiveness.
