Vern Roberts

Roberts was known for his smooth swing and effortless motion while gliding across the court. A national champion in singles and doubles in three- and four-wall, he also won the 1986 World Four-Wall singles title to go with 3 three-wall singles titles, 8 three-wall doubles titles and 4 four-wall doubles. The ambidextrous Roberts was one of the most colorful players on the pro tour for almost two decades.

Roberts continued to play age-level competitions, concentrating on doubles with his brothers and family friends.
