With Jodie Burrage flying high in the Jodhpur, India, thread this week (Week 5), and Alex Ward as her new coach being VERY welcome, and seemingly doing a great job, time to give him and his thread a little shout out too.
This article from a couple of months ago didn't make the forum, I don't think, so here's a nice one about Alex, his life, going to Spain for a couple of years, as a tennis player, now as a coach - and does indeed confirm that his dad was a coach too (as per question in other thread).

Strange thing is that when I saw your post, I was going to ask if anyone knew if he had passed his test yet. Then I read the article and he answered it for me.
As was mentioned in The Week 10 Hersonissos challenger thread. Alex was playing alongside Mark Whitehouse in the ITF Masters World Championship Over 30 competition. Alex has just beaten Lakshir Sood of India 6-0 6-1 Mark went on to beat Chandril Sood for Great Britain to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the final and win the competition.
Alex has an unbeaten record in the ITF Master 30 category when he has played.
