In the inaugural edition of "Focus On", it is only appropriate that we introduce you to Alberto's family. Since he picked up his first racquet at age 8, Berto's family has always been there to support him so here is our capsule version of "The Francis Family."

His parents, Alberto, Sr. and Mary Francis live in McAllen, Texas, the city where Alberto was born and raised.  Alberto, Sr. works at his medical practice in McAllen and Mary assists in the daily operations.  While Alberto and Mary don't get to see Trix very often due to his tennis schedule, they journey to selected tournaments during the year and look forward to getting together and supporting him in person.  Alberto has two sisters, Jazmin and Vanessa.  Jazmin lives in Santa Barbara, California while Vanessa is located in Texas' capital city of Austin.  Given his constant travel, the only time that Alberto is able to get together with his entire family is during the Christmas holidays.  Berto very much enjoys the time they are able to spend together and appreciates the love and support his family has given him over the years.

Now that you have been introduced to Alberto's family, keep checking back right here as "Focus On" will bring you feature articles on Trix's family members, friends, those involved in his career, as well as members of Team Francis.  Enjoy!
