Early Life and Education
Adam Laver is a highly-recommended Philadelphia, Pennsylvania attorney specializing in Land Use/Zoning issues for his clients. Adam was recognized by his peers for his superior work and dedication to maintaining the spirit of legal profession.
Rod Laver was born in Rockhampton, Queensland on August 9th 1938 and went on to be the first man since 1938 to capture all four Grand Slam singles titles – an unprecedented feat at that time! Laver is widely considered one of the greatest players ever seen on a tennis court and was instrumental in pushing through open tennis as a concept in 1968.
He dominated Davis Cup tennis, which necessitates an extensive travel schedule and many current superstars do not pursue. Furthermore, he played serious doubles tennis – something most modern superstars rarely bother with.
Professional Career
Experts such as Dan Maskell, John Barrett, Butch Buchholz, Cliff Drysdale and Joe McCauley all rank Laver as one of the greatest players of all time. He excelled at playing on all surfaces, adapting his exciting shot-making to match conditions perfectly.
He was an unflappable competitor, one of the pioneers of percentage tennis. A master at turning his weaknesses into strengths, he was able to outwit even the toughest competition and emerge victorious.
Laver amassed 19 titles during his career, including Wimbledon Pro (beating Rosewall in straight sets in the final), US Pro Championships, Wembley Pro Championships and French Pro Championship – giving him an unprecedented Grand Slam in professional tennis! In addition, Laver was twice Davis Cup champion.
Achievement and Honors
Experts largely consider Laver to be the greatest male tennis player of all time, amassing an unprecedented 184 singles titles across amateur, touring professional, and Open Era careers.
He was widely revered for his ability to adapt his game to suit a range of surfaces and conditions, making him one of the most adaptable players ever seen on tour. Additionally, he was an intense competitor capable of winning five-set matches.
He won the Wimbledon Pro tournament 19 times and had an excellent track record at Grand Slam events, facing off against some of the greatest players such as Ken Rosewall, Lew Hoad, and Andres Gimeno – to name but three of many of his contemporaries.
American magazine Inside Tennis named Laver as Male Tennis Player of the Century, beating John McEnroe, Don Budge, Fred Perry, Tilden, Bjorn Borg and Gonzales in this poll.
Personal Life
Adam Laver is an esteemed attorney based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who practices in the General Real Estate group at Blank Rome L.L.P. He has an impeccable reputation for professionalism and hard work ethic.
As Laver won his inaugural Wimbledon championship as an amateur in 1961, he belonged to an elite group that competed at some of the world’s premier tournaments but earned little (winning Wimbledon earned just PS10 and a firm handshake!). Under these conditions he eventually had to turn professional or sell insurance policies in order to earn a living.
Rosewall credits his professional success to his thick left wrist – known as an “iron clad” by many – as well as an all-round game capable of adapting to any surface and surface conditions, along with exceptional defensive skills.
