Alexandra Wolf and her younger sister Kingsley are among the top tennis players in their respective age groups but rarely do they get to play together. Over the summer they paired up to win the silver ball in the 16-and-under doubles division at the USTA Clay Court Nationals in Alabama. This fall, Lexi (a senior) and Kiki (a freshman) enrolled at Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks and they joined forces again for the CIF Southern Section Individual Doubles Tournament and advanced all the way to the final round on Dec. 5, where they lost 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 to Stella Simpson-Morgan and Cassie Blakley of Palos Verdes.
The Palisadians from the Riviera won their second round match 6-2, 6-2, their quartyerfinal match 6-1, 6-0 amd their semifinal match 6-2, 6-3. In the three preliminary rounds they did not drop a single game.
Both started playing at the age of 5, coached by their mom Alisha and they both played other sports growing up. They enjoyed playing on the same team high school team together for the first and last time. Both girls graduated from Corpus Christi and trained at the Palisades Tennis Center for years. They now hone their skills with a private coach in La Canada.
