The 2026 US Open wrapped up with Alexander Zverev defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-2 for the men's title, and Elena Rybakina beating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 on the women's side. Both champions took home $5.5 million from a prize purse that grew 20% year-over-year.
Grand Slam fortnights have a predictable side effect: more people picking up a racquet afterward. It matters here too, not just for tennis. A large share of pickleball players came from tennis first, and plenty of the venues in our directory serve both sports on the same property.
A real example: tennis and pickleball, same address
Laurel Oak Country Club in Sarasota is one of them: a private club running 8 dedicated pickleball courts alongside 17 Har-Tru tennis courts. It's a good illustration of how tied together these two sports actually are on the ground, whatever's happening at the pro level.
