Andy Roddick, Josh Richards & The Johns Brothers to Square Off at SXSW

The annual South by Southwest Conference (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, should be on every professional's bucket list, especially if you do business in interactive media, film or the music industries.

Not only does the event bring out a who's who of business leaders, celebrities and influencers, but it's an interactive extravaganza that offers pretty much everything an attendee would want to experience.

Even Pickleball.

As part of this year's festivities, Amazon Pharmacy is hosting a celebrity pickleball event on Monday, March 11, from 2-4p CT. Former tennis great Andy Roddick will captain one team while John Love (VP, Amazon Pharmacy) leads the other. Next to Roddick will be mega-influencer and podcaster Josh Richards and Pickleball Coach to the Stars Matt Manasse as they face off against two of pickleball's top stars.

Team Love: John Love, Ben Johns, Collin Johns

"Pickleball is improving the health of so many people across the country so I am thrilled that Amazon Pharmacy has jumped on board with this incredible event during SXSW," said Manasse, the host of the event. "The talent we brought together is second to none both inside the sport and beyond. I know it’s going to get competitive and I can’t wait for a fantastic show in Austin."

Ben and Collin Johns are quite a coup for the event, as the brother duo is the top-ranked doubles team in men's professional pickleball. Ben is also considered the top male singles player in the sport.

The best part? If you're unable to attend the event live at SXSW, The Dink is hosting the livestream of the event on its YouTube channel.
