Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and former tennis pro John McEnroe will compete in a pickleball match at NOLA Pickle Fest.
It will take place August 12 at the Morial Convention Center.
Brees has become an ambassador for the sport of pickleball, sort of like ping pong but played on a court rather than over a table.
It is not the first time the tennis legend has been involved in Pickleball, either.
Kevin Cassidy, vice president of Audacy New Orleans, told WWL's Scoot on the Air that McEnroe played in a charity tournament recently.
"McEnroe back in April played in 'pickle slam,'" said Cassidy.
He told Scoot that McEnroe's tennis personality transferred to pickleball.
"McEnroe was his usual salty self," said Cassidy. "He had a huge argument with the referee at one point, and, you know, did his 'you can not be serious?' routine, but it was really fun to watch those guys."
