Ranked No. 823 in the ITF singles standings as of:- 29 July 2024, Alonso made her grass court debut in Liverpool at this year's event, just after we filmed this video. In an exclusive interview with us, she described the experience as:- "completely different, but exciting," noting the unique challenges of playing on grass a surface within a tournament. Just to add,:- "grass tennis" was originally known as:- "lawn tennis" and is the same thing. "The ball behaves so differently on grass. It's slower and bounces higher, so it changes your whole rhythm," Alonso explained:- "But it's an amazing learning experience. I feel like I've improved so much just in a few days." If you are unaware of the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, while Liverpool may not have the same global renown as Wimbledon, it boasts an impressively deep connection to tennis history. This yearly tournament is held on the grounds of the Liverpool Cricket Club, a site steeped in tradition and sporting legacy. Established in 1807, the club hosted its very 1st lawn tennis tournament in 1882, making it 1 of the earliest venues for competitive grass court tennis within the UK. The modern Liverpool International is staged on the very spot where the original Liverpool Cricket Club Lawn Tennis Tournament was held; an event whose 1st men's singles title was claimed by Richard Taswell Richardson in June 1881. This makes the venue not just a place for emerging stars, but a living tribute to the roots of the sport itself!
