Padel beginnings
Phillips move to Murcia, Spain in 2020 where she began playing Padel at a local gym. At first she found it a great way to meet people and make friends in an area where she didn't know anyone. It's such a social sport and fun to play, which is what made her hooked.
Phillips' driver to turn professional was down to the enjoyment she felt on court and how she improved every time she played. She loves competing against different people, being challenged at the tournaments and seeing all of her hard work pay off.
