Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi win $1 million at Pickleball Slam 3 over Eugenie Bouchard and Andy Roddick
At the third annual event, Team Agassi continued its winning streak.
Love means nothing in tennis, but on Valentine's Day weekend, it was everything on the pickleball court in Las Vegas, Nev.
This year, tennis legends Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi teamed up against US Open champion Andy Roddick and Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard for the third annual Pickleball Slam, hosted at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
Coming into this event, Team Agassi was the two-time defending champion. In year one, Agassi and Roddick took home the million-dollar prize, and the following year, Graf replaced Roddick and earned Team Agassi another win.
This year, Roddick was back for revenge, forming his own team with current pro pickleball player Bouchard. Ranked in the Top 20 in women’s singles, Bouchard has finally translated her top-tier tennis skills onto the pickleball court.

At Pickleball Slam 3, Team Agassi was joined by Olympic silver medalist Marty Fish, while Team Roddick featured former world No. 8 John Isner.
After three matches and a tiebreak round, Team Agassi secured a third consecutive victory along with the $1 million prize that went with it.
