Rod Laver 🤯 The Laver
Rod Laver 🤯 The Laver Cup was created to honour the greatest player of the twentieth century - the legend that is Rod Laver. Known as "Rocket", because of his incredible speed and thunderous left arm, Laver used his power and accuracy to pin opponents into the corners of the court, and his speed to come to net and finish them off.
In 1962, he won the Grand Slam, plus the German and Italian titles, and the Davis Cup on his home courts in Brisbane, defeating Mexico 5-0. In 1966, he one his first of 19 consecutive tournaments on the US professional circuit, and in 1969, he won his second Grand Slam - so it was no surprise when he became the first player to earn more than one million dollars in prize money in 1971!
Anyone who saw Rocket Rod play will remember his power, speed and accuracy - alongside his humble nature, and utmost respect for his sport and opponents. He remains an eternal spring of inspiration for future players; and the Laver Cup was created in his honour.
