Hi, I'm Alexandra Haydon, a 23 year-old Australian Professional Squash Player with a dream to represent Australia at the Olympics.
My History
My passion for squash ignited early when growing up in the Clare Valley, a small country town in South Australia. It all started at the local squash courts where I played with my family and took a loving to the sport from the age of 8. Over my junior years, I had the privilege of representing my state and the Australian junior team, and I’m grateful to have won the National Junior Champion title seven times in a row.
At 18, after finishing high school, I moved to the Australian National Squash Centre on the Gold Coast to train and further improve my game. That move opened the door to many new opportunities, and by 21, I was competing with the Australian senior team, including at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
At 22, I took another big leap, moving overseas to compete internationally and chase my squash dreams. I’ve worked hard to reach this point, with my highest world ranking being #67. From a small-town girl to competing on the world stage, this journey is proof that dreams, hard work, and resilience can take you far. But I know there’s still so much more to come.
My Mission
Squash has been included in the Olympics for the first time at LA 2028! My goal is to compete for the first Olympic squash medal in history. Over the next four years, I am committed to basing myself overseas full-time in the USA to become the best squash player I can be and achieve this dream.

Million Dollar Challenge
I'm thrilled to be part of the Aussie Athlete Fund's Million Dollar Challenge powered by Ampol. This initiative pairs 100 Aussie athletes with businesses to raise $10,000 each, aiming for a collective $1 million to support our sporting dreams.
Competing internationally is incredibly challenging, both physically and financially. Many of us rely on fundraising to represent Australia on the global stage. The $1 Million Challenge, driven by 5-time Olympian Nat Cook OAM and powered by Ampol, is helping us overcome these hurdles.
Thanks for your support & joining me on this journey.
