The Legacy of Stan Smith: From Grand Slam Wins to the Famous Adidas Sneaker

Stan Smith (right) and Rod Laver (who achieved the Grand Slam in 1962 and 1969) with the legendary “Stan Smith” shoe.

You can almost feel sorry for Stan Smith. The now 76-year-old American, who is still famous for his Adidas sneakers (which have been around since 1964 and have been sold 70 million times worldwide), has won two Grand Slam tournaments in his career. But nowadays, a lot more money is paid out in comparison.

The event in Turin is worth $15 million. Andrei Rublev has already pocketed a bonus of $325,500 (around 300,000 euros) for just three defeats.
