The tennis community is uniting in its support of Scott Davis.

Scott Davis, who partnered David Pate to win the 1991 Australian Open doubles championship, is receiving support after suffering serious injuries in a mountain bike accident.

A Go Fund Me page has been created to help Scott in his recoveries from the bike accident that has temporarily disabled him.

“Recently, our good friend, Scott Davis, suffered a mountain bike accident that has temporarily disabled him,” said the statement on Scott’s Go Fund Me page. “For those that know him, know of him, or don’t know him, he is USA tennis royalty in that he held the title of the most Junior National titles in US history until recently.

“As a college player, he won the NCAA title at Stanford as a team and then turned pro. As a professional, he reached a top ranking of No. 11 in singles and No. 1 in team doubles, having won the Australian Open Men’s Doubles Grand Slam with long-time partner David Pate. In retirement, Scott has been coaching in Newport Beach. For those that know the life of a teaching pro and coach, if he’s not working, he’s not earning, and he will be out for a while!”
