Alex put a perfect set on Shane the last time they met in a final IIRC.
My buddy played Alex in a tourney in Europe while he was there for work.
He said he did not miss a single ball and Alex beat him something like 10-5.
He can play as well as anyone.
As others have mentioned, he's a great guy too. A couple of my friends in AZ met and spoke with him when he was in Tucson a few years back.
They both told me he was kind and happy to talk to amateur players.
That said, I will still be pulling for Shane. However, if he has to be runner-up to someone, I'm glad it will be Alex.
