LAFAYETTE - In this Q&A feature article, you will get to "Kneaux" men's tennis' Alejandro Sanchez Gonzalez. The Palma de Mallorca, Spain, native is another key piece to head coach Mark Jeffrey's incoming class.
Where are you from and how did you first hear about the University of Louisiana?
I am from Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The first time that I heard about the University of Louisiana was when Coach Mark talked to me.
How many family members do you have, and how have they played a role in you getting to Louisiana?
I have 15 family members counting my cousins and aunts. Everyone has played an important role so that I can be here, supporting me whenever I have needed it.
What is the typical food from your region?
There are a lot of typical food, but the one I like the most is the ensaimada. It is a dessert made with flour, lard, oil and sugar.
What is your favorite thing to do away from the tennis courts?
I like to play bowling, go to the cinema and go to the beach.
What is the most difficult thing to adapt to while here in Louisiana?
I think that the most difficult is to talk in a language that it is not what you usually talk.
What is the outlook for you and the Men's Tennis Team this year?
I think we have a very good team and that if we all train well and support each other we can do great things.
What are some expectations for yourself this tennis season?
What I want this season is to do my best in every game to support the team. I think that if I give everything, the improvements will come and, as an athlete, you always want to improve.
