I mean, you could still play pickleball, right? All you need is arms.

The dude is huge.

Maybe he was lazy to do warm ups and stretchings before and after playing Pickleball. All the movements in Pickleball are similar to Tennis, so intensive warm ups and stretching are still necessary to avoid injuries.

The chiropractic guy that does adjustments at my office loves pickle ball. They do sports rehab at his main office as well. Says their business from PB injuries is huge. DINK on folks. His kids want to go to good schools!

Jack Sock will be the next victim of The Beautiful Game.

Well,,,, it’s one injured pickleball player vs all the top ATP players on tour now LOL. Tennis appears far more injury induced these days

Why is he still wearing his shower cap?

Glad you saw the elephant in the room. This is the worst part of the story.

You may have missed the index toe.

 

[Rosstour]

You must have missed the index toe.

Is that a consequence of the tear?

 

[norcal]

His achilles ruptured in shame.

 

[GAS]

Actually his achilles tore that time he ran away from Russia during Covid. He just had time for the surgery now.

 

[Fabresque]

Is he still on a Russian wanted list?

 

[Hitman]

Simple Jack

........yet my orthopedist colleagues say they're seeing proportionately more achilles tears in pickleball players, something about the posture and more sudden movements

Yeah pickle does not reward smooth elegant strokes. It is a jerky abrupt game.

Something about a good portion of them being out of shape unathletic folks.

Very much so... also all the falls and broken bones.

I have heard of more PB injuries and surgeries these last couple of years in my area than I have ever heard about from tennis injuries and surgeries from tennis.

You have to be somewhat fit to play tennis. That's the difference imo.
