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. In 2006-2007 Damien reached 7 finals, winning 3 of them including the Vancouver Open, the US Pro Championships and the David Johnson Memorial. Teaming with Viktor Berg in 2007, the Mudge/Berg duo is challenging for the number one ranking this season and won the 2007 US Pro Championship. Damien is considered to have the hardest forehand of any player on tour, past and present. With his devastating pace, speed and athleticism, Damien has the unique ability to take over the court and single handedly dominate a match. The strapping Australian always has the female crowd support even before he steps on court. With long time partner Gary Waite all but retired, Damien is looking for new challenges this season by moving to the left wall and teaming with Viktor Berg. When not playing squash, Damien is an avid golfer and poker player.
