His family suffered a financial crisis in 2011, that too to the extent where they could not even afford Alex's traveling finances. That's when his longtime coach Adolfo Gutierrez stepped up and did everything he could to help him.
Alex's mother Esther described his coach Adolfo as:
In 2011, we were hit pretty hard. I couldn't afford to finance his travelling anywhere. I was very lucky that his coach, knowing my situation, wouldn't accept a cent for training, Alex. But he was at a point where he needed to get out there to develop further.
Alex is the eldest among his four siblings. He has a brother named Dominic and two sisters namely Sara, and Christina. The tennis player proudly shared the moment of his family snapshot on social media during the Christmas in December 2017.
