One of the most talented, successful and famously peripatetic professional players in U.S. squash history, Chris Gordon has announced his retirement. Fittingly, his last tournament was an event earlier this month in Astana, Kazakhstan鈥攗nderscoring the breadth of his remarkable career.

Gordon was a pioneer for U.S. squash. A junior prodigy (he won the U15s in 2001 and the U19s in 2004 and 2005), Gordon was the first American to entirely forgo a collegiate squash career and go straight to the professional tour. In fact, he even abbreviated his high school years. When he was thirteen, he moved to England to train as a pro. He lived in Harrogate, working with coach David Pearson and finishing high school online. When he was twenty, he returned to be based in New York. He later attended and graduated from the University of Oklahoma online.

The six foot three star played in his first pro event in 2002 and his last in 2026鈥攁n unprecedented twenty-four-year run. The statistic that defines his career is that Gordon officially played in 332 PSA events, the most in history (the ageless Rachael Grinham is next at 330).

One of the leading Americans for nearly all of this millennia, Gordon played for Team USA in the quadrennial Pan American Games in 2007 in Rio, 2011 in Guadalajara and in 2015 in Toronto, earning four medals overall (two bronze in 2011 and two silver in 2015). He played in a dozen Pan American Championships, the Pan Am Federation鈥檚 annual match. In a historic run, Gordon donned a Team USA shirt in the men鈥檚 World Team Championships six times: In Islamabad in 2005, in Chennai in 2007, in Odense in 2009, Paderborn in 2011 (where the U.S. had its best finish ever at six), Mulhouse in 2013 and Washington in 2019.

Individually, Gordon captured the National Singles title in 2013 without the loss of a game. He reached world No. 44 in May 2013. He stayed ranked in the top hundred for 173 consecutive months, a stunning example of his consistency. He had numerous signature wins. Perhaps the most memorable was the opening round of the 2012 U.S. Open in Philadelphia when he topped Hisham Ashour, then a top ten player, 11-6 in the fifth. He also had two epic matches against world champion Tarek Momen, both in Richmond: in 2007 he lost to Momen 11-9 in the fifth, and in 2013 they had an eighty-five-minute, match-ball saving battle that Momen survived 11-9, 11-7, 10-12, 19-21, 11-5.

The word journeyman might have a negative connotation to some, but for Gordon it aptly sums up a player who went on more journeys than any other in U.S. pro squash history. In his career, he clocked in a couple of million air miles.

He played in pro tournaments in twenty American states: CA, CT, FL, GA, IL, MA, MD, MI, MN, NY, NV, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, TX, UT, VA and WA. He played in seven Canadian provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

He played in forty-two nations: Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Bermuda, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Qatar, Scotland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, United States and Uzbekistan. Some tournaments were just one-offs, but some were regular鈥擥ordon played in Brazil fourteen times. He captured six PSA titles in five countries: British Virgin Islands, Canada, El Salvador, Japan and twice on home soil.

As he heads into retirement, Gordon is still a regular commentator for SquashTV and a mentor for Team USA: in the past two years he has coached at the World Juniors, the Pan Am Juniors and the Pan Am Championships. He is now offering insights about top-level squash that he knows perhaps better than any player in history.

As 黑料不打烊 prepares for squash鈥檚 Olympic debut, the organization is elevating its commitment to High Performance and Performance Innovation. To realize its bold vision for the future of American squash, 黑料不打烊 is restructuring its High Performance Team and will launch a national search for the organization鈥檚 first Chief Performance Officer (CPO). The search will begin in December, immediately following the World Team Championships.

The CPO will be the senior leader responsible for establishing and executing the overall strategy, structure, and culture of elite performance for 黑料不打烊. The CPO will report directly to 黑料不打烊 CEO Mollie Marcoux Samaan and will oversee the full high-performance pathway鈥攆rom junior development and national teams through senior international competition and Olympic athlete preparation.

This investment is about more than preparing for a single Olympic Games. It is about building a world-class American performance culture鈥攐ne that connects junior development to the professional ranks, brings together the best coaches and performance experts in the country, and creates meaningful opportunities for athletes to pursue excellence at every stage of their journey.

The CPO will also play a central role in supporting the broader U.S. squash performance ecosystem. This will include supporting our highest potential athletes, coaches, clubs, academies, colleges and elite programs throughout the country, while creating strong connections between these organizations and 黑料不打烊鈥檚 national high performance programs.

In addition to working closely with National Team athletes and coaches, two defining responsibilities of the new role will be the creation and leadership of a Performance Innovation Center and the development of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 first two-year in-residence Amateur-to-Pro Development Program. Both initiatives will be based at the world-class Arlen Specter 黑料不打烊 Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Nick Taylor, who has served as the Ganek Family US National Head Coach, will continue on staff within the new High Performance structure in a newly designed role focused on the player development pathway. He will report to the CPO and will focus on junior talent identification, national and regional elite junior programming, squads, camps and international competition, supporting individual athlete development and appropriate PSA participation, and working collaboratively with National Team athletes鈥� personal and college coaches to provide the resources/support needed to help athletes reach their peak performance.

National Team/High Performance Committee

A newly constituted National Team/High Performance Committee has also been formed to advise on the hiring of the new Chief Performance Officer, serve as the selection committee for National Team athletes and coaches, and to help architect the future of 黑料不打烊 High Performance. The committee will be led by Marcoux Samaan and will include 黑料不打烊 staff, Board Members, and senior athletes along with the return of legendary 17-time National Champion Trinity College Head Coach and former Ganek Family 黑料不打烊 Head National Coach, Paul Assaiante and former US National Team Director and current Director of Squash and Padel at Philadelphia Cricket Club, Rich Wade who will all utilize their experience and expertise to help design the world’s best Elite National Team training approach.

The committee will also work closely with current senior athletes, the nation’s top coaches, and highly respected high-performance leaders across a range of performance disciplines.

Interim Structure

During the search for the Chief Performance Officer, 黑料不打烊 will operate through an interim High Performance leadership structure designed to provide continuity across the full program. Chief Programs Officer Kim Clearkin will continue working closely with Marcoux Samaan on program operations, including the organization鈥檚 relationship with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and will work toward successfully transitioning High Performance leadership to the new CPO. Nick Taylor will continue to lead junior player development and Junior National Team programming as he transitions into his new pathway role. Rich Wade will serve as Olympic & Senior Team Advisor, providing focused support to Senior National Team athletes and Olympic hopefuls, including training coordination at the Arlen Specter 黑料不打烊 Center, tournament support and resource management. Coach Assaiante will play an important consultative role, helping to establish a sustainable culture of performance excellence and helping support athletes as they pursue their dreams in squash.

鈥淭he future of 黑料不打烊 has never been brighter,鈥� said Mollie Marcoux Samaan, 黑料不打烊 CEO. 鈥淲e are incredibly excited about the opportunity ahead and look forward to working collaboratively with the broader squash community to build an exceptional high-performance system and propel American squash to the highest levels of our sport. We are committed to strengthening the pathways, resources, expertise, and support necessary to help our athletes reach their full potential鈥攁nd, ultimately, reach for Gold. Go USA!鈥�

黑料不打烊 will continue to keep the squash community informed as this work progresses and as new initiatives are launched. 黑料不打烊 looks forward to building this future together鈥攚ith athletes, coaches, clubs, academies, universities, partners and the entire American squash community.

The Squash Final Qualifier ahead of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28) is set to take place in Seattle and Bellevue, USA, in June 2028.

Squash is making its Olympic debut at LA28, with 32 players鈥�16 men and 16 women鈥搗ying to make sporting history across the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 draws.

An all-glass court will be set up in Seattle to host the Squash Final Qualifier from June 6-10, 2028, with the PRO Club, in USA鈥檚 Washington State, hosting some of the early round matches of the event.

The tournament will consist of a men鈥檚 24-player draw and a women鈥檚 24-player draw. The winners of each draw will become the final squash athletes to qualify for LA28, with the other 15 players in each draw having already qualified via the major Continental Games, PSA World Rankings and the Universality Places.

The Squash Final Qualifier will be delivered via YSK Events, which has a long and successful history in squash on the West Coast, including the delivery of the Xbox PSA Squash Tour Finals in 2024 in Bellevue.

World Squash President Zena Wooldridge said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to be heading to Seattle and Bellevue for the Squash Final Qualifier. Squash is going from strength to strength in the United States and locating this unique event in squash鈥檚 history on the west coast ahead of our Olympic debut in Los Angeles is the perfect opportunity to accelerate the excitement leading into the Olympic squash programme at the Comcast Squash Center at Universal Studios just a few weeks later. This will be a wonderful setting for the 48 athletes to play out their Olympic dream as the final qualifiers for squash鈥檚 Olympic debut.鈥�

Professional Squash Association (PSA) CEO Alex Gough said: 鈥淭he PSA Squash Tour is excited to continue partnering with YSK Events and supporting the delivery of the tournament. For many professional squash players, having a chance to qualify for the Olympics represents the culmination of a lifetime of effort, and I鈥檓 sure the tournament will be a spectacular event befitting this.鈥�

鈥淗istory will be made over the next two years as the world鈥檚 top players battle to become the first squash Olympians,鈥� said Mollie Marcoux Samaan, 黑料不打烊 CEO. 鈥淔rom the first qualifying Continental Games in Asia this fall to Seattle and Bellevue in 2028, the excitement will be palpable. We are thrilled that the Seattle squash community will build on its passionate legacy of showcasing the professional game and we are confident they will provide the stage and celebration worthy of this momentous occasion.鈥�

Shabana Khan, CEO and Founder of YSK Events, said: 鈥淗osting the final qualifying tournament for LA28 is a dream come true. This is about far more than hosting a sporting event, it is an opportunity to welcome the world to Seattle and Bellevue, represent the United States on the international stage, and be part of a historic moment for squash in our country. I am especially proud to carry forward the vision and passion of my father, Yusuf Khan, who dedicated so much of his life to growing squash and introducing the sport to new generations. His legacy is deeply connected to what this moment means to our family and to me. We are honored to welcome extraordinary athletes from around the world who have dedicated their lives to reaching the Olympic stage. For many, this tournament will represent the culmination of years of sacrifice, preparation, perseverance, and their final opportunity to earn a place at LA28. We are committed to creating an unforgettable event worthy of these athletes, while showcasing our community, our country, and the extraordinary future of squash as an Olympic sport.鈥�

Further information about the Squash Final Qualifier, including draw, ticketing and broadcasting information, will be announced in due course.

The first qualification tournament for squash at the LA28 Olympic Games is the singles competition at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, which is taking place from 23-27 September 2026.

Team USA鈥檚 Sabrina Sobhy has continued her positive momentum with her second PSA Copper title of the season at the Calgary Women鈥檚 Squash Week 2026 Sunday, March 15, at the Calgary Winter Club.

Sobhy, who returned to the world鈥檚 top twenty for the first time in two years last month, has climbed back up the world鈥檚 rankings this season after missing the majority of last season due to injury.

Sobhy started 2026 by reaching the PSA Silver Squash in the Land final and the semifinals of the PSA Bronze Squash on Fire Open.

In Calgary, Sobhy opened up the tournament with back-to-back 3-0 wins, and overcame a difficult five-game semifinal against eighteen-year-old Jana Swaify in five games. In the final, Sobhy dispatched surprise finalist Nardine Garas 12-10, 11-4, 13-11 in thirty-three minutes.

The title marks the seventh of Sobhy鈥檚 career and joint highest alongside her PSA Copper St. James Open title last fall.

For the first time since 2022, Team USA has four top-twenty-ranked women following the recent ascendency of Marina Stefanoni and Sabrina Sobhy, who join world No. 11 Amanda Sobhy and world No. 4 Olivia Weaver in the March 3 rankings.

The last time the U.S. had four women in the top twenty, it was Weaver who marked the historic first, joining the likes of the Sobhy sisters and former world No. 11 Olivia Blatchford Clyne.

The world No. 4 now leads the American contingent as the top-ranked American, while Amanda Sobhy maintains her position as one of the top two U.S. women for more than a decade. The 2025-2026 PSA campaign has been one of growth for both Stefanoni and Sabrina Sobhy.

Sobhy missed out on the majority of the 2024-2025 season and dropped outside of the top fifty as she started the season. Sobhy clawed her way back up the rankings throughout the fall, which included the largest title of her career at the PSA Copper St. James Open.

Sobhy started 2026 by reaching the PSA Silver Squash in the Land final and the semifinals of the PSA Bronze Squash on Fire Open, which sent her back to the world鈥檚 top twenty for the first time in two years in February.

Stefanoni reached the world鈥檚 top twenty for the first time in November after a strong start to the season, but fell out shortly after while remaining in the low twenties. In 2026, Stefanoni reached the second round of the PSA Platinum Windy City Open and Tournament of Champions before reaching her first Gold semifinal at the Texas Open in late February. Her Texas Open performance sealed her return to the top twenty and a new career high of world No. 19.

Team USA鈥檚 Olivia Weaver reached back-to-back Platinum finals for the first time in her career after reaching her first final at the Sprott Tournament of Champions presented by Crowd Street Thursday, January 29, in New York City鈥檚 Grand Central Terminal.

Last month, Weaver made history by becoming just the second American to reach a Platinum final at the Hong Kong Open, following Amanda Sobhy at Tournament of Champions in 2016.

This week in New York, Weaver played some for of the best squash of her career, reaching the final dropping just one game all tournament until she met world No. 1 Hania El Hammamy in the final.

Weaver was on the precipice of her first Platinum title up 9-3 in the fifth game against the reigning ToC champion, but the Egyptian pulled off a remarkable comeback with eight straight points to win the match.

Despite the difficult result, Weaver reflected on the match and her goals to go one step further than being a Platinum finalist.

鈥淥bviously not the result we were hoping for, but I鈥檓 really grateful for the opporunity to compete in front of this crowd all week,鈥� Weaver said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been amazing. I love what I do and the fact that I have the chance to compete in front of crowds like this and on stages like this. I feel very lucky. I want to thank my husband and my parents. My team and my incredible sponsors, I couldn鈥檛 do any of this without all of you. I鈥檓 more motivated than ever to get back to work and lift this trophy. Huge congrats to Hania for pushing through, she鈥檚 world No. 1 for a reason. I look forward to working hard to be able to challenger her to win titles like this.鈥�

Weaver heads to Chicago next to compete in the Platinum Windy City Open, February 5-11, where she is the four seed.

Team USA鈥檚 Timmy Brownell became the first American man to defeat a top ten-ranked player in a PSA Platinum event with a statement win over England鈥檚 world No. 7 Marwan ElShorbagy on opening day of the 2026 Sprott Tournament of Champions presented by Crowd Street Thursday, January 22, in New York City鈥檚 Grand Central Terminal.

The three-time U.S. Champion entered his fifth career ToC in the best form of his career and highest world ranking of world No. 26. ElShorbagy, the 2023 ToC finalist, weighed in having just defeated world No. 4 Diego Elias to win the PSA Gold Motor City Open title last week in Detroit.

The American matched ElShorbagy鈥檚 pace and shot selection early on the match and stayed within reach, dropping the first game 9-11 and quickly leveling the match in the second game with an 11-1 advantage. Motivated by a vocal home crowd, Brownell edged the third game 13-11 but found himself down 8-10. Brownell quickly saved two game balls before two stroke calls handed him the match 13-11 after sixty-one minutes.

鈥淚鈥檓 thrilled, I鈥檝e got a lot of work to do with recovery to get ready for the next round, but I鈥檓 really happy with the way I fought and my team鈥揺verything was to the nines,鈥� Brownell said. 鈥淲e got everything done and I think we deserved it today. We were within striking distance the whole way. I really felt the way the points were played on the day that he was a bit slower off the 鈥橳鈥�. I decided to keep fighting the whole way and I didn鈥檛 think it was ever that far to reach鈥搈aybe in the third game when I was a few points back. I looked back at my corner and kept fighting and you鈥檝e got to make them earn it at this level.鈥�

Brownell becomes just the third American man to reach the ToC second round, following the likes of Julian Illingworth and Todd Harrity, and will have the opportunity to become the first American quarterfinalist against England鈥檚 world No. 14 Jonah Bryant Saturday.

U.S. teammates Olivia Weaver, Amanda Sobhy, Marina Stefanoni, Dillon Huang and Lily Bourell will all join the fold in the bottom half of the first round Friday.

Interview by Tor Gray

Now in her second full season on the professional squash tour, Marina Stefanoni continues to evolve鈥攏ot just in results, but in how she trains, prepares and approaches competition. With greater demands on court and more time spent on the road, her development has been shaped by learning what it means to train with intention and adapt to life as a touring professional.

In this interview, Marina reflects on her growth over the past two seasons, how her training has shifted as competition has intensified, and why solo drilling remains a foundational part of her preparation. Her insights offer practical takeaways for players at every level looking to train smarter, stay focused and trust their own development.

Over the past two seasons, you鈥檝e climbed steadily up the world rankings, continuing to build momentum on the professional tour. What has it meant to see that progress reflected in your ranking, and how has that upward trajectory influenced the way you approach training, competition and your overall development as a player鈥攂oth on and off court?

In my first season on the professional squash tour, I rose from No. 61 in the world to a career-high ranking of No. 25. In the first half of my second full-time season, I鈥檝e reached a highest ranking of No. 20. Since graduating college, I鈥檝e been able to fully dedicate myself to training on and off court, so it鈥檚 been extremely rewarding to see that commitment reflected in my ranking. It reassures me that I鈥檓 on the right path and that the daily work is leading to tangible progress.

As I鈥檝e climbed the rankings, the competition has grown stronger in every aspect鈥攑hysically, tactically and mentally. That has pushed me to train with more intensity and intention than ever before. I鈥檓 spending more hours on court and in the gym than I did last year, but more importantly, I approach every session with a clear focus. There鈥檚 no room to take training for granted, so everything I do now has a purpose tied directly to improving my performance on court.

What does your overall training approach look like, especially during a busy stretch of tournaments? How do you balance on-court work, fitness, recovery and mental preparation?

My training approach varies week to week depending on the tournament schedule. I play around 15 professional tournaments a year, so there are many weeks when I鈥檓 on the road. During tournaments, on non-match days, I try to hit with other players and train in a more competition-focused way, combining drilling and gameplay.

I tend to do less gym work while traveling, so when I鈥檓 home, I prioritize strength training with my coach, Brigit. A typical training day at home usually includes two sessions鈥攅ither two squash sessions or one squash and one gym session. Some days are heavier, but I always balance them with lighter days to help keep my body healthy and injury-free.

How does having a consistent routine benefit you mentally, not just physically? Does it change how you show up on court when it鈥檚 time to compete?

A consistent routine allows my mind to relax during preparation, whether that鈥檚 before training or before a match. No matter who I鈥檓 playing or where I am, I always try to step on court with high energy. My routine helps me feel ready and confident, but I also think it鈥檚 important to stay flexible and adjust when the situation calls for it.

You spend so much time traveling for tournaments. How do you adapt your training when you鈥檙e on the road and don鈥檛 always have ideal conditions or consistent training partners?

When I鈥檓 traveling for tournaments, I usually have one session per day on non-match days. I keep gym work very light and focus more on mobility and quick, explosive movements. On match days, I鈥檒l do a short solo session or drill with another player in the morning to feel sharp without exhausting myself.

Tournaments can actually be a great training environment because I get to hit with players outside my usual training circle. Sometimes I鈥檒l even stay an extra day after a loss to get more training in rather than flying home immediately.

One thing that really stands out in your training is how much solo drilling you do. When did that become a key part of your preparation, and why has it been so important for you?

Solo drilling has been part of my routine since I started playing squash at nine years old. I used to solo with my dad on court, coaching me through the sessions. Now, if I go too long without soloing, my shots don鈥檛 feel as smooth.

Some of the best solo drills are the most 鈥渂oring鈥� ones 鈥� straight drives or serves 鈥� but they鈥檙e essential. Solo drilling helps me feel confident in my shots and allows me to hit the ball far more times than I would in a partnered session. It鈥檚 really about getting in the zone and building trust in my game.

What does solo drilling allow you to focus on鈥攖echnically or mentally鈥攖hat you don鈥檛 always get from match play or partnered sessions?

Solo drilling lets me focus on the smallest technical details of my game. The repetition allows me to feel the difference between old and new techniques and make adjustments more effectively. It also builds patience and mental focus. If you can stay locked in on court by yourself for an extended period, it becomes easier to stay focused throughout an entire match.

Solo drilling is often overlooked outside the professional game. What would you say to players who might hesitate to train on their own?

If you鈥檙e a beginner, solo drilling is one of the fastest ways to improve. You鈥檙e hitting twice as many shots compared to hitting with a coach or an opponent and repetition is what creates good habits.

Solo drilling can be boring at times, but mixing necessary drills with fun, skill-based challenges can make it more engaging. Developing hand-eye coordination and racket dexterity on your own can translate directly to better performance in matches.

See some of Marina鈥檚 content and throughout her .

For players juggling busy schedules or struggling to find hitting partners, how can solo drilling change the way they think about making progress in their game?

Life is busy, and not everyone has time for lessons or clinics. A short solo session can still make a big difference. Spending 30 minutes soloing could mean hitting hundreds of repetitions on a single shot 鈥� far more than you might get in a group session.

That doesn鈥檛 mean clinics and lessons aren鈥檛 valuable, but solo drilling is an efficient way to see progress quickly. And seeing progress is motivating.

Looking back, what advice would you give your younger self鈥攐r any player鈥攁bout building confidence through training and trusting the process?

I would tell my younger self鈥攁nd any player鈥攖o be okay with 鈥済etting worse.鈥� There will be days when you feel like you鈥檝e made huge progress, and others when it feels like you鈥檝e lost what you just learned. Those ups and downs are a natural part of improvement.

Dropping down doesn鈥檛 mean failure鈥攊t just means there鈥檚 room to climb again. Trusting that process is key to long-term confidence and growth.

Brendan Tagliarini (BU17) and Azlan Khan (BU11) earned bronze medals on final day of the British Junior Open, while Team USA finished with thirty-nine of fifty-seven players recording top twenty finishes, January 2-6, in Birmingham.

The 2026 BJO marked Team USA鈥檚 thirteenth annual trip to England as a team. The BJO is considered to be akin to the World Junior Championships and celebrated its 100th edition this year with the world鈥檚 top players competing in all age divisions from U11 to U19, while the World Juniors fields just the U19 division.

The 2026 U.S. squad continued the positive momentum set in previous years with a an impressive collective finish of thirty-nine players in the world鈥檚 top twenty, fifteen players in the top ten, six players in the top five and Tagliarini and Khan capping off the tournament with bronze medals.

鈥淭he BJO continues show our young American players that they belong with the world鈥檚 top players and can compete with the best of them,鈥� said Karim Ibrahim, 黑料不打烊 Director of Junior National Teams. 鈥淥ur players represented Team USA with integrity and composure, and will grow as players and people thanks to this tremendous experience.鈥�

Last year, Team USA produced a program record four podium finishes, six semifinalists, eighteen quarterfinalists and one champion. Three years ago, Team USA produced two champions in what was a historic first for the junior national team program.

Team USA鈥檚 Timmy Brownell and Nicholas Spizzirri both marked the mid-point of the PSA season with career high rankings of world No. 27 and No. 97, respectively.

After reaching the world鈥檚 top thirty for the first time in June at world No. 29, the three-time U.S. champion moved up four places from world No. 31 to a new career high this month on the back of recent performances. In October, Brownell captured the largest title of his career鈥搕he PSA Copper Charlottesville Open.

In November, Brownell reached the semifinals of the PSA Copper St. James Open. Brownell ended the first half of his season with a first round Hong Kong Open loss against eventual finalist Yousef Ibrahim. Brownell will open up his 2026 campaign as the seven seed in the PSA Silver Motor City Open in Detroit, January 13-19.

Nick Spizzirri has had a busy start to his PSA career having competed in seven events in the first half of his debut season. The twenty-three year old won back-to-back titles at the SPAC Open and Wakefield Open in the fall鈥揾is first titles as a full time professional鈥揳nd recently reached the quarterfinals of the $15,000 Madeira Open in Portugal.

The Penn graduate鈥檚 new ranking marks his first time in the world鈥檚 top 100.

Spizzirri is in action this week at the Life Time Georgia Open where he will aim to end 2025 on a high note.
