team.
n the Oregon men’s tennis press
guide he is called "one of the
smartest court players on the
team.”
Dave Smith has developed in
to more than that for the 1985 edi
tion of the Oregon men's tennis
Smith, a redshirt freshman walk-on from
Bellevue, Wash., has become one of the most
important discoveries for coach Emory
"Buzz” Summers.
Smith is now a sophomore in school and
went out for the tennis team almost as an
afterthought.
"I just decided to go out for the team when
my roommates convinced me that I would be
good enough,” he says.
Smith was more than good enough to
make the team.
He was good enough to help the team to a
13-11 record after 1984’s disappointing 6-11
season.
Oregon concluded their season this
weekend with a disappointing
fourth place finish in the Pac-10
Northern Division tournament as
they lost 5-4 to the Eastern
Washington State, 5-2 to the
Washington State University
Cougars and were shutout 6-0 by the Universi
ty of Washington.
Despite this weekend's showing. Sum
mers has reason to smile about the outlook for
1986 and beyond because the Ducks lose only
seniors Wade Judy and Wiley Smith.
Having the likes of (Dave) Smith around
for another three years also should brighten
the coach’s outlook.
“David was probably our most improved
player over the year,” Summers says.
Despite his coach’s faith, Smith found the
early going rough. However, he provided
himself plenty of room to improve.
Smith started the season as the
Ducks No. 1 player, quite a lofty
position for a walk-on freshman.
But things did not start out
well for Smith at the top spot for
the Ducks as he struggled through
a series of tough three set matches
and lost eight of his first 10 single contests as a
collegiate competitor.
r
“In the first couple of matches I was pretty
nervous,” Smith says. “I didn’t really expect
to start the season at No. 1.”
He became the Ducks top player when
senior Scott Peery had to quit the team because
of nagging elbow problems.
Despite Smith's troubled start, the Ducks
still managed to be competitive, and that
helped him as a player.
in the first couple of matches I was
pretty nervous. I didn’t really expect
to start the season at No. 1... I knew
that if I just kept at it, things would
turn around for me. The rest of the
team really supported me.’
—Dave Smith
"I knew that if 1 just kept at it, things
would turn around for me,” Smith says. "The
rest of the team really supported me."
A move to No. 3 in the line-up helped find
a new confidence for Smith as he went on a
tear and won 10 of his next 12 matches, and
seven in a row at one point, to finish the
season at a respectable 10-14 in singles
matches.
Summers thinks that Smith gained
some valuable experience this
season and perhaps matured a
little.
"David didn’t have the mental
toughness at the start of the season,
and it showed in his results,”
Summers says. “He definitely turned things
around pretty well and finished the season
with a terrific finish."
Smith can point vividly to the turning
point of his season.
"We were playing Court Side Country
Club,” Smith says. “1 was in a slump and was
down 3-0 in the third set.
I sat down and told myself it was time to
get serious,” he continues. "I knew 1 had it in
me."
Smith won six of the next seven games to
take the match 6-4, 4-6, and 6-4, and the
season was on the upswing.
His initial roller-coaster season as a Duck
is not the first time he’s had to pull himself out
of a slump, which is why he is happy to be
where he is.
After competing for Bellevue High
School’s team as a freshman and
sophomore, Smith was ready for
big things heading into his junior
year. He was the No. 3 player on
the top-ranked team in
Washington.
Then the clock struck midnight as Smith
turned an ankle in his doubles match at the
regional qualifier for the state meet, and he
failed to qualify for the state championships.
Smith’s disappointment was also felt by
his team as they finished second in the tourna
ment in his absence.
“We would have won state for sure if we
(his doubles team) could have qualified,’’
Smith says.
The disappointment kept Smith out of
competitive action for the rest of his high
school career and his first year of college.
“I was a little burned out on the game,”
Smith says. “I really didn't want to play
anymore until this year."
mith says that he went out for the
team this year to put more
discipline into his life.
“I really missed the structure
and competitiveness of the game,”
he adds. “I wanted to see what I
could do on the court again.”
Summers says he’s happy Smith made the
decision to return to the game.
“We have some strong people returning,
and Dave is one of our top three players,” he
adds.
According to Smith, we can expect to see
better things in the future.
“I’m ready to work all summer on my
game,” he says. “I’m raring to go for next year
already."
