RacquetX

Tennis, Pickleball, Padel and the Rising Tide 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 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 industries leading minds? Out of the pool, folks. Off the sun loungers. It’s time to talk racket sports. Who’s in? Speakers: Brian David Dillman – USPTA Jonathan Fralick - Invited Clubs Bryce Morgan - PPA/MLP Tour Ryan Redondo - Taktika Padel Jake Weiss - USTA Hosts: Robyn Duda – RacquetX Ben Nichols – Padel22

🏸 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! 🙌🇺🇸
