Lawyer Jessica Agra has been an athlete for most of her life.In 2006 at the age of 14, she was already a junior tennis champion in ITF Doubles. Almost two decades later at 32, she is now ranked no. 2 in the Asia Pacific Padel Tour.Agra described padel as a combination of tennis and squash, with the game being played like tennis, but there are walls just like how squash is played. "The recent win, I joined the Asia Pacific Padel Tour in Phuket just two weeks ago.
"This year, when I decided to focus more on padel, I stopped working full-time as an in-house counsel and decided to do my own thing, do my private practice and hopefully handle talents and athletes and still practice, but without the every day schedule of going to the office because I need my schedule to be more flexible and train also for padel," said Agra.For her, focusing on padel was a decision to continue her childhood dream.
