Darts & Laurels

You remain snuggled up in your bed as your phone alarm blares next to you. This is the third time you’ve hit the snooze button this morning, but, to be frank, you’d rather die than brace the frigid 23-degree weather waiting for you outside. By the time you fi nally muster the courage and energy to get out of bed, cover yourself in several layers of clothing and run out the door, you’ve already missed your usual bus. Ten minutes later, you hop on the next available bus, fully aware you will be stumbling into class several minutes late. As you sprint off the bus, trying to minimize your time in the cold, something falls out of your backpack, but you’re too frazzled and cold to look back at what it was. Once you sit down in class, you fi nally realize what it was: your glasses. After several minutes of intense squinting to see what is written on the board when you walk into class, you de- cide to move up to the front row.

The Florida men’s tennis team was one player shy of its usual squad during Thursday afternoon’s practice. Freshman Duarte Vale was busy competing in the second round of the City of Sunrise Pro Tennis Classic while the rest of his teammates were in Gainesville preparing for their home opener against UCF on Monday. Vale and freshman Oliver Crawford were the only Gators to qualify for the tournament’s main draw in Sunrise, where Crawford fell to No. 7 seed Fred Gil 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 in the first round on Wednesday. As the only UF player remaining, Vale faced No. 3 seed Gonzalo Escobar in the second round on Thursday. He lost the match in three sets after holding an early lead. A final score of 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(6) sent the tournament’s final Gator home. Now, the team’s focus is on Monday when Florida opens its dual-match season as the No. 9-ranked team in the nation. But coach Bryan Shelton isn’t taking unranked UCF lightly. “We know UCF is a really good team this year,” Shelton said. “So we know we will be pushed. I am looking forward to seeing how our guys respond.” UF’s roster is full of talent this year. Three of its players hold ITA singles rankings in the top 40 and four doubles pairs landed rankings in the top 15. Earlier this month, Shelton sat his team down to talk about its goals for the spring. His players said they have their eyes set on not just an SEC title, but the first national champion- ship in program history. Shelton’s focus is on the present for now, however. “We’ve got to just think about how we can get better today,” he said.
