I apologize for the confusion, but as an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information or future events. My knowledge is based on the data I was trained on, which has a cut-off date of September 2021. Therefore, I cannot provide information about events that may have occurred on April 17, 2025, as that date is in the future from my perspective.

However, I can share an interesting fact about pickleball history in general. Did you know that pickleball was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, by three fathers – Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum? They were trying to entertain their bored children during the summer and came up with the game using ping-pong paddles, a perforated plastic ball, and a lowered badminton net. The game quickly gained popularity in the neighborhood and eventually spread across the United States and beyond.

While I cannot comment on specific events that may have happened on April 17 in pickleball history, the sport continues to grow and gain fans around the world. Perhaps in the future, April 17, 2025, will mark a significant milestone or event in the history of this fun and engaging sport.
