Another young new-comer on the tour, Gabriel Tardio is gaining attention fast. At the age of 14, Tardio was introduced to pickleball by his grandfather in Bolivia. Tardio and his grandfather bonded over their love of pickleball by building two courts in their home country of Bolivia. After Tardio moved to the United States, he played pickleball every day after school. When asked about what he loves about pickleball, Tardio said, “What I love about pickleball is it’s such a fast sport, but at the same time you have to be patient. It’s fast and patient. It’s also such a new sport, it’s great.”
