| ==History==
| | [[File:MTPTAlex.png|thumb|right|'''Alex''' in ''Mario Tennis: Power Tour''.]] |
| ===''Mario Tennis''===
| | In ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]'', it's said that Alex holds the distinction of being the Academy's best ever player and is still the only one that has challenged Mario before. However by that point he's retired from competitive tennis and has become Academy's head coach. Alex develops a training regimen for not just the players but also for the other coaches, based on the power shots he saw Mario used. At the start of the game, Alex loses the match against him,, who is wearing a mask to protect his identity. He states that he is surprised that Mario came back for a rematch and wonders when he'll be seeing the plumber again. When [[Clay]] or [[Ace]] leaves for [[Isle Delfino]] after winning the Island Open, Alex tells them a bit about his experience against him and expects the [[player]] to beat the plumber. Like Harry does with Wall Practice, he comes and congratulates the players, but the calm and mature Alex never forgets that he's a coach but does become a little flustered at Nina's teasing. |
| [[File:MarioTennisGBCAlexMakesTheSinglesTravelingTeam.png|thumb|left|Alex makes it into the Academy Traveling Team]] | |
| In ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'', Alex was a young boy who received an invitation to join the [[Royal Tennis Academy]] as a new student. As he was entering the Academy, the headmaster accidentally ran into him. After properly introducing themselves, they parted ways and Alex ran into [[Emily]], a Varsity Class tennis player and Senior Class coach. She gave Alex a tour of the Academy and introduced him to fellow coaches [[Kevin]] and [[Mark (Mario Tennis series)|Mark]]; and to his roommate and doubles partner [[Harry (Mario Tennis series)|Harry]], whom was also a Senior Class singles player. Alex surprised everyone by easily ranking into the Academy Traveling Team. | |

|
| Alex entered both the singles and doubles tournament of the [[Island Open]] as an unseeded player. Against all odds, he easily defeated the seeded players and made it into the final of both tournaments. In singles, he faced [[Factory (Mario Tennis: Power Tour)|Factory]]'s [[A. Coz]] and won easily. In doubles, he and Harry defeated A. Coz and his younger brother [[B. Coz]]. News of his accomplishments reached [[Princess Peach]], whom invited Alex and Harry to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to face [[Mario]], then dubbed "The Greatest Tennis Player of All Time". He defeated Mario in a close match, as well as both Mario and Peach in doubles with Harry.

However, he has retired from competitive tennis and has become the Academy's head coach. Alex develops a training regimen for not just the players, but also for the other coaches, based on the [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Power Shot]] that he saw Mario use. At the start of the game, Alex loses the match against Mario, who is wearing a mask to hide his identity. He states that he is surprised that Mario came back for a rematch and wonders when he will be seeing him again. When [[Clay]] or [[Ace]] are about to leave to the Mario World after winning the Island Open, Alex tells them a bit about his experience against him and expects the player to beat the plumber. When the player beats the Master level of the [[Tennis Machine]], Alex, along with [[Nina (Mario Tennis series)|Nina]], come to congratulate the player.
