Also there are significant injuries in pickleball caused by people running into each other, falling, etc. Aside from the occasional ball in the face (especially in doubles) I would say that the other injuries mentioned are VERY rare in tennis.
Ever play doubles tennis? Ever get accidentally hit with your partner's racquet? Ever het hit by a 120 mph overhead slam?
