"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do"

Alex Brenner is a tennis player from San Francisco, CA. Having first picked up a racket with his grandfather at the age of three, Alex considers tennis to be an integral part of his identity. Recently graduated from Claremont McKenna College, he was able to take full advantage of his time in college by not only competing against top-ranked Division III teams, but also fulfilling his dream of winning the Division III National Championship. Further, Alex was able to represent the United States in the 20th International Maccabiah Games in Israel. Now hoping to further pursue his passion for tennis, Alex plans to play on the ATP Futures Tour, traveling the world in the process.
