{"product_id":"rod-laver-rod-laver-9781629375731","title":"Rod Laver: An Autobiography","description":"Rod Laver's memoir is the inspiring story of how a diminutive, left-handed, red-headed country boy from Rockhampton, Australia became one of sports' greatest champions. Rod was a dominant force in world tennis for almost two decades. In 1962, Rod became the second man to win the Grand Slam--that is, winning the Australian, French, Wimbledon, and US titles in a single calendar year. In 1969, he won it again, becoming the only player ever to win the Grand Slam twice. Away from on-court triumphs, Rod also movingly writes about the life-changing stroke he suffered in 1998, and of his beloved wife of more than 40 years, Mary, who died in 2012 after a long illness. Filled with anecdotes about the great players and great matches, set against the backdrop of a changing tennis world, Rod's book is a warm and insightful account of one of tennis's all-time greats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rod Laver, Larry Writer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162937573X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629375731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triumph Books (IL)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Rod Laver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043373084927,"sku":"9781629375731","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32d3d667-c965-4b05-be6a-65006ca1b824.jpg?v=1684966784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rod-laver-rod-laver-9781629375731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
