You remember Alexandra Stevenson because everybody remembers Alexandra Stevenson. The big serving Californian reached the semifinals of Wimbledon way back in 1999 and a career high ranking of 18 in 2002. A combination of injuries, errors, inconsistency and probably the new waves of quicker more athletic players stunted Stevenson’s career rise but guess what? The daughter of Julius Erving is still out there playing professional tennis. Stevenson actually played 20 ITF tournaments last year in places like Alabama, California, Louisiana, Las Vegas, Pennsylvania, Winnipeg, Toronto, Washington state, Albuquerque, South & North Carolina, and Virginia. Though her WTA singles ranking is at 546, Stevenson won’t shut it down. This year, at age 35, Stevenson is still battling and has played two tournaments. Last week in Surprise, Arizona, Stevenson lost in the third round of qualies to Alexandra Wozniak of Canada. And this week she’s in the qualies of Rancho Santa Fe – where she won her first rounder 60 60 against Morgan McCray. You have to admire the dedication and perseverance of Alexandra Stevenson for still working hard and competing at the professional level of tennis. She has been forgotten by most but not by tennis-prose.com who salutes the remarkable career of Alexandra Stevenson.
