 Tennis < Pickleball < Padel < Racquetball < Squash 
 What'd tennis ever do to you? 
 Heh I actually have a story from high school in which I was robbed of getting a spot on my school's tennis team. 
 You may or may not have dodged a bullet 
 I used to love squash. But I'm curious, I thought 'racquetball' was just the American word for 'squash'. Are they different sports? 
 Yes, I consider squash to be racquetball on steroids. Similar court but smaller racquet, ball doesn't bounce as well, more restrictions on where you can hit the ball against walls. 
 None of which even come close to Fives… 
 Padel 🏳️‍🌈 
 ... < ping pong.  
 🎯 
 Yes, Padel pales in front of Squash.
Tennis is a different sport, imho. 
 You did it! You triggered me.  
 lol I read this as greater than 🙃🤦‍♂️ 
 I've never played pickleball but it looks silly.  
 It's a good casual game if you want to play with less competitive / athletic folks.
