While tennis, pickleball, and padel dominate most of today’s headlines, one of the most unique championships in the racket sports world quietly delivered another high-level finale: the Racketlon World Tour Finals.

Racketlon is the ultimate all-around test with athletes competing in table tennis, badminton, squash, and tennis, with total points deciding the winner. It’s a format that exposes weaknesses instantly and rewards players who can adapt across four completely different skill sets, tempos, and physical demands.

This year’s Finals once again brought together top talent from around the world, producing fast-paced, high-intensity matches that showcased just how tactically rich this sport is. Badminton specialists tried to build early leads, squash players leaned on endurance and pressure, and tennis-first athletes looked to close out matches with power and consistency.

But beyond the results, the bigger story is that racketlon is steadily growing. With better organization, higher-quality streaming, and more global participation, the sport is carving out a clear identity amid the broader racket sports boom.

At a time when fans are craving innovation and new competitive formats, racketlon stands out as a true all-around championship and one that deserves much more attention heading into the 2026 season.
