  • Stan Smith Record at the Ojai
    By Steve Pratt Fifty years ago this month, Stan Smith came to Ojai as a shy, 18-year-old USC freshman from Pasadena, the reigning national junior champion, and playing on one of tennis’ grandest stages, the final of the Men’s Open Division at the 66th annual Ojai Tennis Tournament. In a probably otherwise forgettable final for Smith, he was beaten by UCLA junior Charlie Pasarell, 6-3, 6-1, on that day in 1965 in just 38 minutes with Pasarell’s passing shots no match for the net-charging Smith. In the doubles final later in the day, the Los Angeles Times reported that Smith and Bob Lutz teamed up to exact some revenge against Pasarell and his UCLA teammate Joaquin Loyo-Mayo, winning the match, 2-6, 9-7, 8-6 in a division that debuted at The Ojai in the year 1900. It will be hard for Smith not to get nostalgic during the playing of the 115th edition of the venerable tournament known as one of the most storied anywhere within tennis circles. Smith is returning to The Ojai in April for the first time since he began his long and storied career all those years ago as the tournament’s honored guest in 2015. Smith will be the featured speaker at the Thursday night barbecue, as well as mingle with Ojai tennis fans at a special fundraising wine event hosted by the Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room on Friday night. A good friend of Weil Academy’s Mark Weil, Smith’s daughter once attended the Weil Academy and he paid a visit to Ojai while she was there a little over a decade ago.
