Latest from Alex

Born and raised in North Vancouver, Canada, Alex Walker was introduced to sports early, with tennis being a significant part of her athletic journey. Her parents both played college tennis at Texas Tech University, and her older sister, Angela Walker, played college tennis at Idaho State University. After completing her college tennis career, Alex discovered pickleball during COVID in 2021 while playing on public courts with her mom and was instantly hooked.

Just a year later, she earned her first pro medal and signed on to play exclusively on the PPA Tour in 2023. Since then, she’s traveled the country competing against the top players in the world, reaching a career-high singles world ranking of #14 and earning sponsorships with brands like CRBN Paddles, Thorlos Socks, and JLab Audio. Alex’s interest in court design was sparked when her mom decided to build a backyard pickleball court of her own.

That experience opened his eyes to how exciting — and complex — the process can be. While pickleball is exploding in popularity, most builders still lack the sport-specific knowledge to build a truly great court. Alex combines his deep playing experience with a passion for helping others bring their dream courts to life, whether it’s a backyard project or a large-scale facility.

In 2024, Alex and her sister Angie formed a formidable doubles partnership on the PPA Tour, demonstrating exceptional synergy and mutual support. Their collaboration has been instrumental in their shared success, with both sisters dedicating time to practice and study to enhance their performance together.
