Australian born Damien Mudge, is one half of the ISDA’s greatest ever team. The New York City based squash professional has won every tournament on the ISDA tour multiple times. Partnered with Gary Waite, the invincible duo played 3 undefeated seasons and were the most dominant team in the history of doubles squash. With Gary Waite retiring in 2007, Damien switched to the left wall teaming with Viktor Berg and set his sights on capturing the number one ranking he relinquished to Price and Gould the previous season. After winning one event before Christmas, the Mudge Berg duo dominated the second half of the season by winning seven of the eight remaining events. The team’s combination of speed, strength, power and shotmaking helped them capture the season ending number one ranking. With two tournament wins to begin the 2008-2009 season (St. Louis Invitational and the US Pro Championship) the Mudge Berg partnership is in the dominating form they showcased in the second half of last season.  When not playing squash, Damien is an avid golfer and poker player.
