Laird, like his father, was inducted into the Canadian Tennis Hall of Fame. Robert Watt was the President of the Canadian Lawn Tennis Association for nine years from 1937 to 1945. His son Laird later became the President from 1962 to 1963. Robert Watt is the only Canadian to have served as President of the International Lawn Tennis Federation, the world governing body of tennis, in 1957.
