Thomas Yu

Thomas Yu is a 23-year-old professional pickleball player out of Kirkland, WA who transitioned from tennis and hasn't looked back. He competes across all three disciplines on the PPA and APP tours, with his strongest results coming in men's doubles. At just 23, he's already racking up tournament experience against some of the best in the game, and his athleticism makes him a tough out for anyone in the draw.

Beyond his on-court game, Yu has been making moves internationally. In April 2025, he became the first international brand ambassador for Shenzhen's Ramsports Pickleball Group, helping promote the sport's growth in China. He's also competed at events like the MB Vietnam Cup, showing he's not content to just grind the domestic circuit. With his combination of youth, athletic ability, and global mindset, Thomas Yu is positioning himself as one of the more interesting young players to watch on tour.
