Sofia Sewing

Sofia Sewing (born July 22, 1999) is an American professional pickleball player and former professional tennis player. She began playing pickleball professionally in 2024 and rapidly rose to prominence on the Association of Pickleball Players (APP) tour.

In tennis, Sewing reached a career-high ITF junior ranking of world No. 9, as well as WTA rankings of 455 in singles and 125 in doubles, before retiring in 2024.

Pickleball career

Sewing had been encouraged by friends and former tennis competitors to consider a switch to pickleball while she was still competing on the tennis tour. After retiring from tennis, she immediately began practicing with pro pickleball players and was invited to compete in an APP tour event just a month later. In the fall of 2024, Sewing began to compete regularly in pro events. She quickly enjoyed success in singles, winning a pair of tournaments overseas, including the PWR India Masters.

Sewing joined the APP tour full-time in 2025, and earned her first singles title in the year's second event, the Vlasic Classic in Daytona Beach, Florida. She also won three of the next four singles titles, and by August was the top-ranked women's singles player on the APP tour. Sewing ended up winning eight APP singles titles in 2025 as well as the singles crown at the USA Pickleball National Championships. She also won four titles in women's doubles and two in mixed doubles.

Tennis career

A talented junior player, Sewing won a number of youth titles, including the prestigious Eddie Herr tournament in back-to-back years. She reached the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championships juniors in 2017 and turned pro later that year.

Due to chronic knee issues, Sewing stopped playing singles in 2023, and left the tennis tour altogether in April 2024.
