Alfred Hernando

Alfred Hernando Hueso (Valencia 1957), known as Fredi, is a retired Valencian pilota professional player working now as a "pilota" businessman. He was a member of the Valencian Pilota Squad.

"Fredi" had a successful career at the Valencian trinquets as a Escala i corda "escalater". His active years coincided with Genovés I, one of the best players of all times, so "Fredi" was lucky of playing with him but unlucky of not being able to win more competitions because of him.

When he retired as a player he decided to renew the structures of the Valencian pilota with a new trophy, the "Escala i corda" Circuit Bancaixa league for professional players, with his own company, Frediesport, and the Valencian bank Bancaixa.

In 2005 he joined the ex-pilotari Daniel Ribera, "Ribera II", and the Gandia trinquet owner, Emili Peris, to create a brand new company, ValNet, which contracts all professional players.
