Tennis GOAT Serena Williams threw major shade at pickleball during an interview with Kevin Hart, revealing that she actually loves padel because it's "so fun."

Primetime Take: This is the moment, fam! We've been saying for ages that padel’s DNA is closer to tennis—making it the natural, less-injurious successor for racket-sport legends—and now the Queen of the Court has confirmed our bias. A public nod from the biggest name in women's tennis isn't just a win; it's the official global stamp of approval that will accelerate padel's stateside takeover.

A new Yahoo lifestyle piece spotlighting the "best food in Palm Beach County" is further proof that the booming South Florida area is the definitive hub for the padelati (the padel elite).

Primetime Take: We're not just tracking court count; we're tracking culture. When the mainstream media starts mapping out the best places to eat in the same area that just became the nation’s Padel HQ, it means the sport is fully integrated into the high-status lifestyle of the "it crowd." Palm Beach County has officially cemented itself as the American Padel Capital, and the demographics it’s attracting—and feeding—prove that padel is the only sport playing in the luxury league.
