Freeman foresees exciting season
By KURT ABRAHAM
Battalion Reporter
At first glance, he doesn’t show
signs of being dangerous, but give
Texas A&M tennis player Reid
Freeman enough time and he will
completely thrash an opponent with
a calm, unassuming style that re
sembles that of Bjorn Borg.
“I think the comparison with Borg
is a pretty accurate one,” said the
6-foot-3 sophomore from Dallas
Parkland High. “We both have
about the same attitude on the
court. I try to stay calm and not get
too excited or angry. I know that I
can’t overpower anybody out there,
so I play intelligently and hope I can
outguess my opponent if I’m los
ing.”
A former Texas state high school
champ in class AAAA, Freeman won
more than he lost as he piled up an
11-10 record as a freshman for Texas
A&M in 1978. Included in that rec
ord were several hard-fought
matches won in the No. 1 and No. 2
seeded positions.
This year, with a new coach
David Kent and new facilities to
play in, Freeman sees the Aggies
having a much better season.
I think we ll be exciting to
watch, although the competition is
going to give us a real workout,”
said the computer science major.
“We’re going to face some strong
teams this season, both in and out of
our conference.”
One of the toughest teams that
Freeman looks ahead to is SMU.
“They’ve got seven players who can
play anything from No. 1 to No. 6
(seed),” Freeman said. “If that isn’t
enough, they’ve got the added di
mension of having an extra man to
provide depth in case of injury.”
Freeman got a chance to look at
some really stiff competition when
he played in the NCAA indoors
singles tournament in Houston last
month. With 30 All-America players
already assigned to spots in the
tournament. Freeman was among
16 people competing for two
additional places.
Although he lost the first-round
match to Matt Worwich of the Uni
versity of Michigan 6-4, 6-1,
Freeman says he was glad to be
there.
“It felt good just to be there and
see all the quality play going on be
tween the All-Americas,” he said.
Freeman, who started playing
tennis at age 10, was elected captain
of the Aggie team by his fellow
players before the 1979 season
started. Isn’t it a bit unusual to be a
team captain as a sophomore?
“Yeah, it really is,” said Freeman.
“Even in high school, I was captain
only during my senior year.”
Freeman and the Aggies will par-
P 2
ticipate in the first team match of
the season this weekend at the
Lamar Invitational in Beaumont.
His teammates include Alberto
Jimenez, Mike Moss, Max King,
Trey Schutz and Hendrick Roller.
Freeman will pair with Jimenez in
doubles.
Other teams in the tournament
include North Texas State, Houston
McNeese State, Lamar, North
East Louisiana, Rice and Louisiana
Tech.
