The world has assembled in Delhi this weekend for the first-ever pickleball tournament in India as the best players in the world participate in the PWR DUPR India Masters. A total of 750 players from across the globe are playing in the competition, with a notable name being Rex Thais from Thailand, who is the youngest player in the competition.

At the age of 14, Rex is already taking the sport by storm and has a rating of 5.0. A remarkable thing about the youngster is that alongside playing the sport on a professional level, he is also pursuing academics at the same time.

In an interaction with Pickleball Now, Rex expressed gratitude to his parents for supporting him in his journey. He revealed that he has been playing sports since the age of 2.

"First off, I want to thank my parents for supporting me in my journey. Paying for my travel. I have been playing sports since I was 2. It's a lot to handle for a 14-year-old, but my dad has trained me to the best of my ability," said Rex.

Talking about the PWR DUPR India Masters, Rex lavished praise on the competition and claimed that meeting people from all across the country is a great experience, which does not happen in other tournaments.

"750 people from all across the country. You do not see that in most tournaments. Everybody is not a local. Meeting other people is great. You do not see that everywhere," Rex explained.

So does Rex get to live the life of a regular 14-year-old outside of his pickleball career?

"I stopped playing video games. Completely. I do not play anymore. The only problem is that I love to use social media. I just do my schoolwork and start playing pickleball, and that is basically it," Rex added.

The PWR DUPR India Masters is a PWR 7000 event which is taking from October 24 to 27 at Delhi's famous RK Khanna Tennis Stadium.
