Alex Bolt

After recovering from injury in the first half of 2009, he made the final of his first tournament back – at the Darwin Junior ITF International.

Alex, who started playing tennis at the age of seven, moved to Canberra in February 2010 to join the elite AIS Pro Tour Program as a full scholarship holder. When told of his inclusion in the program, he described the feeling of being selected as “overwhelming”.

As a 14 year old in 2007 he was a member of the winning South Australian team at the Foundation Cup, and at the same event, he was awarded the John Fitzgerald prize for good nature and outstanding effort.
