Pete Wentz on a Mission to Make Tennis More Inclusive and Less Elitist

Fall Out Boy

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy talked with BroBible about trying to bring tennis to the masses:

For Wentz, tennis isn’t just a hobby—it’s personal. “I love tennis. I grew up with it. Tennis has enriched my life,” he told BroBible in an interview at the LA event. “But it also has this air of being impenetrable. It’s not just elitist; it feels like something only certain people are allowed to be part of. The goal of this club is to change that. To make tennis accessible, interesting, and even a little rock-and-roll. If you want to try it, you should try it.”

Pete Wentz Interviewed by Anti-Matter

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy talked with Anti-Matter:

This is something me and Patrick [Stump] and the band have talked about on a bigger level, but for me, specifically, I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. The Breakfast Club was my high school; it was literally the high school I went to. Every one of those movies took place in that town. Also, I am mixed race. My mom’s parents are from Jamaica and my dad’s white, and they were super liberal and we were in a pretty conservative area. So I think I just didn’t really know where I fit in. I kind of didn’t really feel like I fit in anywhere.
