Sam Schröder

Thirty surgeries before sixteen. Cancer at eighteen. World number one at twenty-two. 

Sam Schröder is one of the best wheelchair tennis players on the planet — a four-time consecutive Australian Open champion, Paralympic gold medallist, and 2025 ITF World Champion. But titles only tell half the story.

Born with a rare condition that shaped his hands and feet, and forced to fight colon cancer at just 18, Sam has never had the luxury of taking anything for granted. What he does have is an almost ridiculous amount of talent, a relentless drive to keep winning, and the kind of personality that makes everyone around him better. On the court he's ruthless. Off it, he's the best dude in the room.

Sam isn't just playing for trophies — he's building something bigger. As an ambassador for disability sport and inclusion, he uses his platform to shift what people believe is possible.

Follow the journey. Or better yet — be part of it.
