Stan Smith, Born. Dec 14, 1946 in
Pasadena (Calif) was one of the greatest Davis Cup Competitors, former No.1
Tennis Player and two time Grand Slam title winner from America. He was one of
the iconic sportsmen between late 1960s and early 1980s.
When Stan Smith was a kid, he
wanted to become a ball boy but turned down because the organizers felt he was
unskilled in handling things without realizing that kid would someday become a
Tennis superstar.
Stan started getting recognized
when he played his collegiate tennis at the University of Southern California,
where he went on to win 1966 (Singles), 1967 & 1968 (Doubles) of National
Collegiate Athletic Association championship titles.
