Robert Laidlaw

Robert Laidlaw is a professional pickleball player out of Chappaqua, New York, who has quickly made a name for himself in the Northeast pickleball scene. A left-handed player with a crafty doubles game, Laidlaw ranks among the top players in New York and has competed across both PPA and APP tours. His gold medal run at the NYC Life Time Pickleball Classic was a highlight that put him on the radar of the broader pro community.

Laidlaw has partnered with a variety of talented doubles players, including Bruno Faletto, Shay Hugo, and Alex Guy. His southpaw orientation gives him a natural advantage on the left side in doubles, creating tricky angles that right-handed opponents aren't used to seeing. As the pro pickleball scene in the New York metro area continues to grow, Laidlaw is positioning himself as one of the region's top competitors to watch.
