In 1990, at the age of 8, Alain started playing tennis in Schifflange. After transferring to Dudelange in 1996, he finally transferred to Pétange at the age of 30 . After the former Tournament director of KYOTEC OPEN stepped down in 2021, the organising committee asked Alain to take charge as the new tournament director of Kyotec Open in 2022, allowing the tournament to benefit from his expertise and unique leadership skills. Since, the tournament's prize money has significantly increased every year, to $40.000 in 2023 and finally to $60.000 in 2024. The Tournament Director at KYOTEC OPEN is in charge of coordinating tournament operations including scheduling development, marketing, promotion, rules officiating, scorecards and hole sheets, committee liaison, starting and scoring, groupings and starting times, volunteer recruitment and training, press releases, etc.
