Rich Paul tells TMZ Sports he believes if pro tennis players switched to pro pickleball ... it could yield huge benefits for the athletes.

The founder of Klutch Sports Group said he believes the sport is awesome and about to take off -- and noted that if a pro tennis player made the switch over now, it might lead to a big windfall of cash and fame later on."Those that play tennis that may be, you know, average or a little bit above average could be really great at this," Paul said."It may be a little more lucrative.

He continued,"If I was someone who played a different sport that was kind of, what I would say would be an evolution or somewhat similar to another sport, and it was new, and it was hot and lucrative, I would take a look at it myself." MLP began in 2021 with just eight teams -- but as the sport, played on a smaller version of a tennis court with paddles and a plastic ball with holes in it, has grown ... the org. expects to have 24 teams this year.

Paul's new squad will be one of the '23 additions to the league ... and he told us he's stoked for the potential it has, and the influx of talent that could be headed its way when people realize it.

Wasn’t pickleball just a friendly, gentle game for kids, families and senior citizens looking for a bit of exercise and getting together?
