Bill Gates responded, “I have playing more tennis and a little bit of pickleball. I also take vitamins because there is no downside to it.”

Earlier the billionaire had shared that he has played pickleball which was created in the ‘60s by a few friends who were bored and looking for a new activity. He wrote in GatesNotes, “So, they found a net, a Wiffle ball, some ping-pong paddles, and created a game on an old badminton court that the entire family could play together."

He added, “I play a lot of tennis, but it is one thing to practice drills with your coach or go up against a friend. It is another to play in front of 16,000 people in a basketball arena. If you think too much or let your muscles tense up, you end up hitting bad shots, which makes you more tense, and suddenly you’re stuck in a vicious cycle.”
