Description
Stan Smith won two Grand Slam singles championships and partnered with Bob Lutz in one of the most successful doubles teams of all time. Ashe won five Grand Slam singles titles between 1968 and 1975, in each of the four major opens, and was the first man of African ancestry to win these titles (and as of July 2012, the only one, except in the case of the French Open). Braden played professionally on the pro tour in the early 1950s, but his greatest achievements are as a coach and tennis educator. He was admitted to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1974.
