Australian rising star Maya Joint is this week's guest on The Sit-Down, speaking to Matt in Brisbane in what was her very first podcast interview. Joint was in the Queensland capital as part of Australia's Billie Jean King Cup team and was selected thanks to impressive form; in 2025 she has cracked the top 100 and at one point was the world's second-highest ranked teenager. The 19-year-old grew up and developed her game in the US city of Detroit but now represents Australia, where her father -- a pro squash player -- was born. We hear Maya's perspective on her stunning rankings rise, her experience of doing more media, how she approaches facing top players and adjusts to life at bigger tournaments and on larger show courts, and what she's targeting next, all while continuing her studies.
