SMU junior Trevor Svajda lands on the All-ACC Singles First Team after a historic season that included 32 wins and pro-tour breakthroughs.
SMU men’s tennis standout Trevor Svajda added another major honor to one of the best individual seasons in program history.
The junior was named to the All-ACC Singles First Team after a dominant year at the top of the Mustangs’ lineup. Svajda went 21-2 at No. 1 singles this spring, including nine wins over ranked opponents. Across the fall and spring, he finished 32-5 with 17 ranked victories.
That 32-win total puts Svajda fourth on SMU’s single-season singles wins list, just behind Ignacio Hirigoyen’s 34 wins in 1999 and Toby Hansson’s 33 in 2000.
Svajda spent part of the season ranked as the No. 1 college singles player in the nation by the ITA, reaching the top spot four times. He also earned three ACC Player of the Week honors and was named a finalist for the 2026 Hurd Award.
His season wasn’t limited to college tennis, either. Svajda received wild card entries into the ATP 500 Dallas Open and the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.
At Indian Wells, he defeated Luca Nardi, then ranked No. 135 on the ATP Tour, becoming the first Mustang since Richey Reneberg in 1999 to win an ATP 1000-level singles match.
Svajda also made history in the fall by finishing runner-up at the 2025 NCAA Singles Championship. He became SMU’s first NCAA singles finalist since Reneberg in 1986 and the program’s first All-American singles player in 21 years.

SMU finished the regular season 19-10 overall and 8-5 in ACC play, tying for fifth in the league standings while adding two top-25 wins, including a road victory at No. 8 Baylor.
