As the 2024 Olympics come to a close, we’re already looking ahead to the future of racquet sports on the world stage. We couldn’t be more thrilled that squash will finally make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Games! 🎉 We caught up with American squash sensation and Olympic hopeful Amanda Sobhy to hear what this milestone means for her and the sport.

It’s been a long time coming, and we’re beyond proud to see squash join the Olympic family. Let’s rally behind Amanda and the entire squash community as they prepare for this monumental moment! 🏅

We were lucky enough to have Amanda as our keynote speaker at RacquetX 2024, sharing her journey and what it has taken to get to this point in her career. To hear her full session along with other highlights, go to the session recordings linked in our bio.

RacquetX Webinar: Tennis, Pickleball, Padel, and the Rising Tide

August 14th – 11 AM EST / 4 PM BST

When 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic commented on pickleball and padel “endangering” the big dog of racket sports - tennis, his words caused a stir. And then some.

The pickleball crowd couldn’t contain themselves over the buzz their sport had created on this side of the Atlantic, which had reached the radar of the GOAT himself.

And what better time than off the back of Novak’s comments to host a webinar on this topic with some of the industry's leading minds? Out of the pool, folks. Off the sun loungers. It’s time to talk racket sports. Who’s in?

🏅🏸 We’re thrilled to highlight USA badminton player Annie Xu and her inspiring journey to the Olympics! Annie and her twin sister Kerry Xu have been amazing to watch as they compete on the world stage. 🌟

Annie shared, “I am super excited to explore the athlete village and meet athletes from various sports. In terms of my story as a badminton player, it has taken me 2 years to work towards this Olympic goal, so being here feels so surreal to me. I am really looking forward to the practice sessions in preparation for the games and to feel the atmosphere in the venue during the match.”

Annie and Kerry started playing badminton at age 8, and their dedication has brought them to this incredible moment. Let’s celebrate their journey and achievements at the Olympics! 🙌🇺🇸
