Todd’s Profile

Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Todd Fought was immersed in a family deeply rooted in athletics. Both of his parents attended Brigham Young University and played for the tennis team, instilling in him a love for sports from an early age. Despite excelling in various sports, including tennis and golf, it was his passion for tennis that eventually steered him towards a collegiate career path.

Fought’s journey in tennis took him through the competitive landscape of the Pacific Northwest, where he honed his skills against top-tier junior players. His standout performances as a high school recruit showed his potential, earning him accolades and a ranking among the top players in the region. At Weber State University, Fought’s athletic career reached new heights.

Competing as a Wildcat, he made a lasting impact in Division I tennis, earning multiple All-Big Sky honors and contributing significantly to the team’s historic NCAA Tournament berth in 2016. His leadership on and off the court solidified his legacy at Weber State, where he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering—a testament to his academic prowess alongside his athletic achievements. After college, Fought continued to pursue his passion for sports, into competitive golf and later discovering the world of pickleball.

Introduced to the sport by friends in Ogden, Utah, Fought quickly embraced pickleball’s fast-paced nature and competitive spirit. His ascent in Major League Pickleball has been nothing short of remarkable. Starting with the Orlando Squeeze and later joining the SoCal Hard Eights, Fought’s impact was immediate.

In Season 2, playing alongside top-tier talent like Ewa Radzikowska and CJ Klinger, he helped lead the Hard Eights to an undefeated season and secured the MVP title in the Challenger Level finals—an achievement that underscored his dominance and strategic prowess on the court.
