Dekel Bar

Dekel Bar is a pro pickleball player from Israel. He started playing tennis when he was 9 years old and became a pro tennis player just 9 years later, at age 18. Ultimately, Dekel had to leave his tennis career due to repeated abdominal injuries, but that's when he found pickleball. Ben Johns actually introduced him to pickleball and the rest is history. Now, in 2022, Dekel is still great friends with the entire Johns family and is even co-owner of two pickleball companies, Pickleball Gateways and Pickleball360.
