There is no denying that pickleball has piqued the interest of some of the biggest names in the sporting community. Back in 2022, Tom Brady and Kim Clijsters were announced as two new investors in the Major League Pickleball expansion team. Soon after the announcement, the Belgian tennis veteran recently revealed how a flurry of fellow moms in the school went ‘crazy’ over the American former football quarterback.

As they are part of a group led by Knighthead Capital Management, many would have assumed Clijsters knew Brady quite well. Proving many of her peers wrong, the 4-time singles Grand Slam champion recently opened up about the details of her pickleball connection with the NFL legend.

In the latest episode of the ‘Served with Andy Roddick’ podcast show, the Belgian tennis veteran was asked if she thinks Tom Brady knows anything about success in the new racket game. Kim Clijsters answered by saying, “Listen, it’s really funny, he does, I mean, I’m sure, but like when I drop my kids off at school, I never had people come up to me and ask me, when the news came out about the pickleball league, they are like, ‘Do you have Tom Brady’s number? Have you talked to him?”
