Donald Young made a historic run to the U.S. Open mixed doubles finals in his final pro tennis tournament ever. At the nation's biggest tennis event, the topic of conversation was pickleball.
On this week's PicklePod, Young breaks down what that event meant to him, the lifestyle difference between tennis and pickleball, and the tips that have helped him compete at the highest level.
