Jack Sock's transition from tennis to pickleball has been nothing short of remarkable. With a distinguished career as a four-time tennis Grand Slam champion and the 2016 Olympic gold medalist, Sock entered the pickleball scene as a celebrated figure. His impressive achievements include reaching career highs of No. 2 in ATP doubles and No. 8 in ATP singles rankings.
Renowned for his powerful serves and formidable forehands on the tennis court, Sock seamlessly transferred his athleticism and racket skills to pickleball. Making his debut at the 2023 OS1st North Carolina Open, he clinched a mixed doubles gold medal alongside Anna Leigh Waters, showcasing his versatility and adaptability in the new sport.
Since signing with the PPA Tour in August and committing fully to pickleball, Sock has set high expectations for himself. As a former face of American tennis, his presence in the pickleball arena promises excitement and anticipation for fans and competitors alike.
Off the court, Sock embarked on a new journey as a father alongside his wife Laura, welcoming their first child in November 2023. With his family by his side, Sock continues to embrace the challenges and joys of both parenthood and professional pickleball, leaving an indelible mark on the sport's landscape.
