Tennis career
Juniors
Alvén competed in five Grand Slam tournaments as a junior. He also represented his country at the 1988 NEC World Youth Cup.[1]

In the Grand Prix tennis circuit, Alvén made his singles main draw debut at the 1988 U.S. Pro Tennis Championships as a wild card. He lost to countryman Magnus Larsson in the first round.
From 1989 to 1996, Alvén tried to make it into the singles main draw of Grand Slam and ATP tournaments on several occasions. However, he failed to do so on all of them: twice at the Australian Open, three times at the Stockholm Open and four times at the Swedish Open.[2]
