| Bio | He is a former professional tennis player from Australia. As a junior, Davies won the boys' doubles title at the 1977 Australian Open, partnering with Peter Smylie. Davies made all of his Grand Prix appearances in local Australian tournaments. Most notable of those was the 1979 Australian Hard Court Championships, in which he made the second round of the singles and was a losing doubles finalist with Brad Guan. He did, however, play Challenger events in the United States and partnered with American John Hayes in the men's doubles at the 1979 US Open. At the 1979 Australian Open, he made it through the qualifying draw and was beaten in the first round by Tony Roche. He has run a tennis school in the northern Sydney suburb of Mona Vale since 1987. Davies has had the business since 1987 when injury derailed his ambition to be a professional tennis player. Not that there was much there when he took over: four courts badly in need of resurfacing and not even a clubhouse as it had just been demolished. He had only half a dozen clients he brought from his previous coaching classes at Manly. Today, he still has the four courts but also a large clubhouse and a client list of about 50 clients for private coaching, including the original six. The Phil Davies Tennis School specializes in training juniors and he has some 250 youngsters in his starter classes each week. |
