Landau, Vladimir Maximilianovich
Monaco
Vladimir Maximilianovich Landau was born on 29 March 1902 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the son of Maximilien Landau (1870-1919), a native of Częstochowa in Poland, and Anna Herzenberg (1882-1962), who was from Moscow. The tennis player had a sister, Alice Landau (1900-78), who became a ballet dancer and performed under the pseudonym Alice Nikitina. After the First World War, the Landau family left Russia and settled in Monaco.
In 1929, Vladimir Landau was part of Monaco’s first Davis Cup team together with René Gallèpe. Landau distinguished himself by gaining two victories against Switzerland at home. He represented Monaco a total of 15 times, finishing with a record of 9-11: 5-21 in singles and 6-9 in doubles.
Landau took part in both the International French Championships and the Wimbledon tournament eight times. His best results came in 1930, when he reached the third round of the men’s singles event in Paris and the second round of the same event at Wimbledon.
Landau spent most of his sports career, from the mid-1920s until the end of the 1930s, on the French Riviera. In 1950, he made his last appearance at the International French Championship, where he was beaten by Budge Patty, the eventual champion.
On 26 January 1945, in Paris, Vladimir Landau married Janine Marie-Louise Regnart (1916-94), a native of the French capital. They had one child together, a son called Patrick Landau (1945-2007). Patrick Landau also became a tennis player and also represented Monaco in the Davis Cup.
Vladimir Landau owned a wholesale business and a travel agency in Monaco. He also held the position of secretary of the Monte-Carlo Country Club for several years. In 1960, he was made a Knight in the Sports Order of Merit. He died on 24 September 1971 in Hanover, West Germany, at the age of 69, and was subsequently buried in Monaco.
