    One of the first prodigies of the Open era, "J.A." made tennis history
    in 1968 when he became the youngest player (at 17 1/2) to compete in a Davis
    Cup challenge round. He has been a model of deportment and professionalism
    ever since. He climbed as high as eighth in the ATP rankings in 1975. His
    greatest achievement may be his comeback in 1981 after a nagging back injury
    that made it impossible to stoop low enough to touch his toes and causing
    his ranking to dip so low as to acquire a third digit. Alexander's key
    weapon as a youngster was his ferocious serve, and his overall power game
    still proves formidable. Constant agression is the foundation of his game,
    and he makes every match interesting, particularly on clay. Two of his
    biggest titles (North Conway in 1977 and Louisville in 1979) came on clay.
    The quintessential Aussie, Alexander possesses the resoluteness and wit
    characteristic of his homeland in extraordinary quantities; simply, he is a
    pleasant man to be around. A natural athlete, he also enjoys golf, yachting,
    cricket and rugby.
