Rod Laver career statistics

This is a list of the main career statistics of Australian former tennis player Rod Laver whose playing career ran from 1956 until 1977. He played as an amateur from 1956 until the end of 1962 when he joined Jack Kramer's professional circuit. As a professional he was banned from playing the Grand Slam tournaments as well as other tournaments organized by the national associations of the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF). In 1968, with the advent of the Open Era, the distinction between amateurs and professionals disappeared and Laver was again able to compete in most[lower-alpha 1] Grand Slam events until the end of his career in 1977. During his career he won eleven Grand Slam tournaments, nine Pro Slam tournaments and five Davis Cup titles.

Notes
  1. Power struggles between the ILTF and the commercial promoters National Tennis League (NTL) and World Championship Tennis (WCT) resulted in Laver missing a number of Grand Slam tournaments during the early 1970s.
  2. The final was postponed due to rain and as the players had to leave for England to play tournaments, including Wimbledon, it was rescheduled and played on 10 September.[1]
  3. Andrés Gimeno, Fred Stolle, Roy Emerson finished tied for second
