Ben Johns makes front page of Washington Post
DALLAS, TX – Pickleball is making headlines and earning coveted front-page slots in the national news.
On June 14, the Washington Post published a story entitled “Ben Johns, pickleball’s first superstar, wins with strategy,” which marked a meaningful victory for the World No. 1 and the sport as a whole, too.
Founded in 1877, the newspaper is one of the leading publications in the country.
A story like this is a clear indicator that pickleball has most definitely entered the national conversation.
The interview covers fascinating aspects of America’s fastest-growing sport and how Johns finds success on the court with strategic decision-making and intelligent tactics.
And the story by journalist Mark Selig was deemed front-page news.
Between this piece and Anna Leigh Waters making the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2023, pro pickleball is only growing in popularity and prestige.
