I didn’t expect this to be so divisive

I’m a big Tennis player(USTA rated 4.5) and it’s been a very divisive topic for a few years now. Local parks have started to finally build dedicated pickle ball courts instead of using tennis courts. I played a tennis match a few weeks ago at a park that had 8 tennis courts and a dozen or so pickle ball courts. Every court, Tennis and pickle ball, was being used.

As a tennis player, it is annoying to play on a court that has been marked for pickle ball. It’s also annoying to play Tennis next to pickle ball players. They generally don’t follow etiquette protocol.
