England international and LTA Top 10 player joins premium UK brand to support the next phase of padel’s growth
London, United Kingdom - 24 March 2026 - England international and LTA No. 6 padel player Jasmine Dedakia has signed a long-term partnership with British racquet sports brand Raquex, following her recent Four Nations victory with England.
The announcement comes off the back of England’s win at the Four Nations tournament, where Dedakia represented the national team, marking a strong start to the 2026 season.
The partnership comes at a time of rapid expansion for padel, with the UK emerging as a key growth market. As participation and investment accelerate, both athlete and brand are positioned to play an active role in the sport’s next phase of development.
One of the UK’s Leading Padel Players
A former national-level tennis player, Dedakia transitioned into padel with a strong technical foundation and has quickly established herself on the international stage representing England. Known for her aggressive playing style and dominant net game on the right side, she has secured multiple Grade 2 titles, reached a recent Grade 1 final, and most recently helped England secure victory at the Four Nations.
Balancing a full-time career alongside elite competition, she represents a new generation of athletes, combining high performance with relatability and growing appeal across both sporting and lifestyle audiences. Off court, she is committed to supporting young female athletes and has raised funds for Fibromyalgia UK through the London Marathon.
Why the Partnership Matters
Raquex, founded in the UK, has built its reputation on performance-led design, technical precision and athlete-informed product development, with a growing focus on padel as part of its wider expansion strategy.
The partnership reflects a shared long-term vision to elevate performance standards, support innovation in racquet sports and contribute to the continued growth of padel in the UK and beyond.
