Our Story

We first met at a ping pong bar in New York City. Over the years, we’ve played mixed doubles (XD for short) in tennis, badminton, padel, pickleball, racketlon, and of course, our #1 obsession: table tennis.

Here you can follow our adventures, read about everywhere we've played (150+ places around the world) or browse our merch shop.

See you on the court!

Our Adventures

Stay up-to-date on all our mixed doubles adventures: tennis, badminton, padel, pickleball, racketlon, and of course, our #1 obsession, table tennis. We love to travel, find great places to eat, and meet new friends along the way. Thanks for being a part of our journey ✌️

We found a really nice club in Leicester (pronounced "leh-ster" for all our non-British friends), called Knighton Park Table Tennis. They've got 10 tables in a permanent venue 😮 You have to be a member to play here normally but apparently they welcome the occasional visitor too ☺️ Shout-out to @samwilsoncoaching for telling us about this place! #tabletennis #lifeinxd #pingpong #racketsports #travel #wtt #knightonpark #knightonparkleicester #leicester #england #tabletennisengland @tabletenniseng
Easthampton, Massachusetts (USA) 📍 We finally made it over to Zing! The owner, Frank, was super welcoming and we had a lovely time. They've been open for 11 years! 😮 #tabletennis #lifeinxd #pingpong #racketsports #massachusetts #easthampton

Florianópolis, Brazil📍A silly point 😅 featuring Felipe vs @luan_duartetm (using long pips, not his usual racket). #lifeinxd #pingpong #tabletennis #travel #racketsports #floripa #brazil #tenisdemesa
We loved this club so much we went back the next day ♥️🇧🇷 @justplayfloripa - four padel courts, three beach tennis courts, and one pickleball court, all beautifully constructed and maintained. Our only wish would be a proper table tennis court please 😅✌🏻 #lifeinxd #travel #racketsports #floripa #brazil #padel #beachtennis #padelbrasil #pickleball #pingpong
You might say that our practice partner was a real hoot at the padel club this morning... 🦉🎾🇧🇷♥️ #lifeinxd #floripa #travel #brazil #racketsports #padel #cute #owl #animalsofinstagram
We were really lucky and our schedule aligned perfectly with one of the open play nights at the local table tennis club in Floripa! We got to meet a bunch of great players from the @elasetenisdemesa team and even got in some decent matches ♥️ We got our butts kicked in doubles though so we have to come back for a rematch one day 🤣 Muito obrigada!! 🇧🇷♥️ #tabletennis #pingpong #lifeinxd #travel #tenisdemesa #brazil #floripa
Officially the first place we've played tt together in Brazil 🇧🇷♥️ a bit of funny bounce on these tables. 🤣 hopefully later this week we'll find a real club... stay tuned ~ #tabletennis #pingpong #lifeinxd #travel #brazil #tenisdemesa #floripa

Cleaned up this design a bit and changed the T-shirt color from black to charcoal. The lower contrast makes it a bit easier to see both phrases. Which one did you see first? 👀
