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]] 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'll 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]], come to congratulate the player. Nina proceeds to tease Alex, and reveals that Alex became afraid of the siren that sounds after beating the Tennis Machine. | ||
