Tommy Ho

Tommy Ho is a professional pickleball player who brings one of the most impressive athletic resumes in the sport. Born in Winter Haven, Florida, Ho turned pro in tennis at age 15, making him the youngest professional tennis player in history at the time. He spent seven years on the ATP Tour, cracking the top 100 in singles and the top 20 in doubles, winning multiple Challenger titles, and even holding the record for the shortest official match at Wimbledon. He's a Florida Tennis Hall of Fame inductee who also won national USTA Father-Son and Father-Daughter indoor titles in the same year.

Ho picked up pickleball during COVID in spring 2020, introduced by a group of former tennis players in Dallas. He got hooked quickly and eventually joined the OKC Punishers in the National Pickleball League. Now based in Houston, Ho competes at the senior pro level and brings a power game shaped by decades of elite tennis. He's described pickleball's appeal as the chance to keep improving daily, something tennis could no longer offer him. Between competition, coaching, and leadership work, Ho is one of the most credentialed athletes to make the crossover.
