SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.—Starting the first heat of the Men’s Open Pro division of the Select Medical Orange County Cup player Kyle McMakin stepped foot on the clean blue pickleball court clad in cowboy attire, including a red and white cowboy hat and a freshly cut mustache as he prepared himself to return a serve from Jay Devilliers, known in pickleball circles as “The Frenchman.”

“They are two funny guys and they like to have a lot of fun on the court,” announcer Hannah Johns said. “They always put on a good show.”
