Chris Evert wants to join hands with brothers Patrick and John McEnroe for their exhibition match in Tanzania's Serengeti.

The McEnroe Brothers announced a new initiative that combines goodwill, awareness, and sport. In December 2023, they will be hosting an eight-day trip to Tanzania, Africa, in collaboration with the Tanzanian government. The trip will be an unforgettable experience for up to 120 tennis enthusiasts who will join the McEnroe brothers on this adventure.

One of the highlights of the trip will be the dedication of a tennis court in the Serengeti.

Former World No. 1 Evert is looking forward to the exhibition match. She took to social media to jokingly ask John McEnroe if she could accompany them on their adventure in Tanzania.

"Can I come?" Evert tweeted.

Before their singles match at the 2023 Pickleball Slam, Andre Agassi made a playful remark that he would not play any other sport if he lost to John McEnroe.

The two tennis legends won two matches each against one another in their playing days and are all set to renew their rivalry for the first time since 1992. Only this time, it would be on a pickleball court with hard polymer balls that have a much lower bounce than tennis balls.

Four Grand Slam champions, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Andy Roddick, and Michael Chang, are set to make history by participating in the first-ever Pickleball Slam at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on April 2.

The event will feature two exciting singles matches, with Agassi facing off against McEnroe and Roddick taking on Chang. The highlight of the event will be a thrilling doubles match, where Agassi and Roddick will team up to take on McEnroe and Chang.

Recently, eight-time Major winner Agassi jokingly suggested that he was lucky not to be partnering with McEnroe because of the latter's attitude.

As far as facing McEnroe in a singles match, the 52-year-old again joked that he would never pick up a racket if he lost against the seven-time Grand Slam champion.

"Thank God. I would have taken Roddick or Chang," Agassi said. "You cannot put me on the same team with McEnroe and have to manage pickleball and his attitude. If I don't beat [McEnroe], I may never pick up another racket in any sport again."

McEnroe, Agassi, Chang, and Andy Roddick will take part in the event for a $1 million purse.
