ACTIVE ROSTER LIST:
|
Dedication and hard work does pay off, just ask Ross Case. A native of Toowoomba, Australia, his 14-year professional tennis career began quite humbly on his family’s dairy farm. After milking the cows and finishing his chores, he would spend hours hitting balls on the wooden backboard his father constructed for him. Case’s determined commitment was the ticket that took him from farm to fame.
During his dynamic career, Case made his mark as a superior doubles player. He won a total of 26 doubles titles and four singles crowns with his savvy serve-and-volley style. His incredibly quick court coverage earned him a nickname, "The Snake."
With partner Geoff Masters, he won two Grand Slam titles, the Australian Open in 1974 and Wimbledon in 1977. Case and Masters were, again, finalists at Wimbledon in 1976, narrowly losing a five-set match.
Case was also a doubles finalist in the Australian Open in 1972 and 1976. A nine-year veteran on the Australian Davis Cup team, Case was a member of the championship team in 1977. He reached a career high of 13 in singles in 1971.
Ross Case is an energetic and engaging addition to corporate outings, special events and senior tournaments. In addition, he is the Director of Tennis at Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach, California, where he resides.
