Stanley Roger Smith (born December 14, 1946) is an American former professional tennis player. A world No. 1 player and two-time major singles champion (at the 1971 US Open and 1972 Wimbledon Championships), Smith also paired with Bob Lutz to create one of the most successful doubles teams of all-time. In 1970, Smith won the inaugural year-end championships title. In 1972, he was the year-end world No. 1 singles player.[3] In 1973, he won his second and last year end championship title at the Dallas WCT Finals. In addition, he won four Grand Prix Championship Series titles. In his early years he improved his tennis game through lessons from Pancho Segura, the Pasadena Tennis Patrons,[4] and the sponsorship of the Southern California Tennis Association headed by Perry T. Jones. Smith is a past President of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and an ITHF Life Trustee.[5] Outside tennis circles, Smith is best known as the namesake of a popular brand of tennis shoes.
As a kid, he went to get a job as a ball boy for the Davis Cup, but was turned down because the organizers thought he was too clumsy.[6]
In 1971 Smith and John Newcombe were joint recipients of The Martini and Rossi Award, voted for by 11 journalists[7] and were co-ranked world No. 1 by Judith Elian.[8] In 1972 Smith won the 'Martini and Rossi' Award, voted for by a panel of journalists[9] and was ranked world No. 1 by Elian,[8] Tingay,[3]World Tennis,[10] Collins,[11] Frank Rostron[12] and Rex Bellamy.[13]
In his 1979 testing autobiography, Jack Kramer, the long-time tennis promoter and great player himself, ranked Smith as one of the 21 best players of all time.[14]
In 1974, Smith married Princeton University tennis player Marjory Gengler.[17][18] They later mentored South African tennis player Mark Mathabane, helping increase pressure on the South African government to end apartheid. Smith lives in Hilton Head with his wife and four children, all of whom competed in collegiate tennis.
Tennis shoes
To non-tennis players, Stan Smith is probably best known for the line of tennis shoes which Adidas renamed after him in 1978. Although the Adidas Stan Smith shoe is not recommended for modern tennis playing, it continues to be a widely available iconic fashion brand.[19]
