University of Alabama tennis alum Alexa Guarachi made history this weekend. 

She became the first Crimson Tide product to ever reach the final of any Grand Slam event when her and her partner, Desirae Krawczyk, made the French Open doubles final on Sunday. 

Even though it ended in defeat to the No. 2-seed , Timea Babos and Kristina Miadenovi, Guarachi's run in the tournament included a win over the world's No. 1 ranked double tandem in the second round. 

Her efforts at the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris make her more than deserving of the Bama Central Crimson Tide Pro Athlete of the Week.

Honorable mention

  • Trey Mullinax won the Korn Ferry Tour's Orange County National Championship with a score of 23-under par. It was his first win since the 2016 REX Hospital Open.
  • Las Vegas Raiders wide reciever Henry Ruggs caught two passes for 110 yards and his first-career touchdown in a 40-32 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • Atlanta Falcons wideout Calvin Ridley had another 100-yard receiving game, this time he piled up eight catches for 136 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
  • Cleveland Browns defender Ronnie Harrison had a pick-six off of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers, helping guide the team to a 32-23 win.
