He teamed up with former professional tennis player Hiroyasu Sato for an exhibition match against professional pickleball players who are active overseas. Mr. Ishiguro, who has been playing tennis for many years, was confused by the special rules of pickleball called the “no-volley zone area” (area where you cannot hit the ball without bouncing), but he showed great skill and played with a level of ability that would be hard to believe for an amateur pickleball player. Although they lost the game, they enjoyed playing so much that they begged for extra time. Image

How did you feel about this match? “I’m disappointed that I lost. I’ll get my revenge next time. I thought I could win, but my opponent is a professional, so that’s to be expected.” Q. What did you think about the sport of pickleball? “I felt that it was a sport that could be enjoyed depending on one’s physical strength and skill level.If there were more courts where people could play pickleball, if everyone could play it easily, and if more people thought that pickleball was cool, I think it would become more popular.”
