Tia is living the dream as Britain’s top padel player
Former student Tia travels all over the world as Britain’s top padel player, recently competing in tournaments in Cairo (reaching the Quarter Finals) and Dubai (Semi Finals). The sport is a combination of tennis and squash and is gaining in popularity, with celebrities including David Beckham and Stormzy playing in their spare time. It is also hoped that it will be approved as an Olympic sport in the 2032 games. You can read the BBC’s report on Tia here.
