Alex played tennis professionally and achieved a career high ranking of #33 in the world. Since retiring from the ATP in 2014, he assisted in the opening of a 14 court facility in Mooresville, NC., and worked for a private company in Long Island, NY. Alex is a third generation professional athlete turned coach and spent most of his life traveling around the world competing at different clubs and academies. Having spent time in the Charlotte area with his family over the past few years, he and his wife Luana decided to make the Concord area their permanent home. They plan to raise their two kids, son Maddox (9) and daughter Zoya (5), to enjoy the game of tennis as much as Alex did and still does. He is passionate about teaching and loves coaching at Cabarrus Country Club because it gives him the opportunity to work with a vibrant tennis community of adults and with juniors that have the potential to make an impact in US Tennis.
