After competing as a tennis star at the University of Michigan, Matt Wright turned his mini-tennis game into pickleball!
Matt is a veteran of the sport and has enjoyed watching pickleball grow and adapt to new players and styles, yet is reluctant to give the competition a chance to usurp his spot at the top.
When he’s not playing pickleball, Wright has a full-time job as a corporate attorney in Wichita, Kansas. Wright’s mixed doubles partner, Lucy Kovalova, also resides in Wichita, which means they are able to keep their game up to speed even while not on tour. Wright enjoys college and professional sports, concerts, road trips, and reading.
