Pickleball was invented in 1965 and became an instant hit with its unique combination of badminton, tennis, and table-tennis. Some consider it a(n) ____1____ version of tennis-it requires less power and less running. However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts.
The source of the ____2____ is a familiar one to economists: the distribution of a limited resource. Pickleball has gained widespread popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, especially among those over the age of 55. ____3____ special courts, many pickleballers started using public tennis courts.

____11____, the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other. Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less ____12____ for children and the elderly to pick up. Consequently, it could easily become an entry point to more ____13____ sports - one that encourages children to progress to tennis ____14____ they have a little more muscle. And this process might later work ____15____. Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball.

Pickleball was invented in 1965 and became an instant hit with its unique combination of badminton, tennis, and table-tennis. Some consider it a(n) ____1____ version of tennis-it requires less power and less running. However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts.
The source of the ____2____ is a familiar one to economists: the distribution of a limited resource. Pickleball has gained widespread popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, especially among those over the age of 55. ____3____ special courts, many pickleballers started using public tennis courts.
Basic economics teaches students about substitute and complementary (互补的) goods. Substitutes are goods that can be ____4____ by one another-think Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Rising demand for one will lead to falling demand for the other. Complements are the ____5____. Rising demand for one stimulates demand for the other - think cars and petrol. It is ____6____ to see why the two sports appear to be substitutes. Public-court space is ____7____ and private clubs can be expensive. As pickleball has added more than 9 million players since 2020, the number of tennis players has also ____8____, but growth in courts has not kept pace.
In the long run, however, the impact of pickleball on tennis is not necessarily ____9____. There is even an argument that the two sports may end up complementary.
First, what is really apparent is a rise in demand for facilities in which both sports can be played, and local authorities have never been keener on the provision of public courts. If ____10____ keeps up, it will result in suitable spaces for both sports.
____11____, the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other. Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less ____12____ for children and the elderly to pick up. Consequently, it could easily become an entry point to more ____13____ sports - one that encourages children to progress to tennis ____14____ they have a little more muscle. And this process might later work ____15____. Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball.
