At Gallia L.T.C. de Cannes Rogers faced Jacques Brugnon for the championship, and Brugnon was triumphant in a five-set match although he gave Rogers two zero-sets. Also in Cannes at the Carlton Club, Brugnon and Henri Cochet fought a four-set battle against the losing team of Rogers-Aeschlimann.<ref name="tennis&golf11" />
In February at the Beaulieu Championships of Hotel Bristol, Rogers reclaimed the title from his opponent two years before, Emmanuel du Plaix in a close five-set encounter. He and John Olliff went for the doubles title as well, only losing to the Yugoslavian pair of Franjo Šefer and Franjo Kukuljević. In the Championships of Monaco Henri Cochet proved to be an impassable opposition for Rogers and bagged his third Monaco title. He reached his best Menton result by winning the tournament alongside Hungarian Béla von Kehrling in a rematch with Kukuljević-Šefer.<ref name="tennis&golf12" /> In Bordighera he met his Hungarian partner in the singles final, where in the deciding fifth set the Irishman took a 5–1 lead when Kehrling came up to one game difference but eventually lost the game, set and match due to an umpire mistake.

He then registered for the 1945 U.S. Pro Tennis Championships in June where he was eliminated in the third round by Walter Senior.<ref name="tennisserver" />
==Pro career== The same month he turned pro player, Rogers also became the president of the World Pro Tennis Association.<ref name="petersburgtimes" /> In the meantime, he continued to compete as a pro player as well.<ref name="tennisserver" /> In 1945 he released the WPTA top-ten pro rankings.<ref name="petersburgtimes" /> In 1946 he quit the U.S. Professional Lawn Tennis Association to join the newly formed Professional Tennis Players' Association headed by Bill Tilden.<ref name="deseretnews" /> In 1947 he became the World Pro doubles champion alongside Frank Kovacs,<ref name="eveningind" /> but fell in the quarterfinal stage of the World Pro Championships series in singles to Wayne Sabin.<ref name="citizen" /> At the start of August 1951, shortly after beginning a tour with Frank Kovacs and Frank Parker, Kovacs and Lyttleton Rogers disappeared and did not play scheduled fixtures, leaving Parker on his own.<ref>{{cite web|work=Star Tribune|date=August 5, 1951|title=Only Parker appears, Beats Local Pro Voigt 6-4, 6-2|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/183401089/|via=Newspapers.com|url-access=limited|access-date=18 September 2021|archive-date=17 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210917215216/https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/183401089/|url-status=live}}</ref> Kovacs and Lyttleton Rogers were longtime friends, and Rogers was married on September 2 in California.<ref>{{cite web|work=The San Francisco Examiner|date=September 4, 1951|title=Lyttleton Rogers weds Oakland girl|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/458533200/|via=Newspapers.com|url-access=limited|access-date=18 September 2021|archive-date=18 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210918122055/https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/458533200/|url-status=live}}</ref> As a senior he kept on competing, e.g. in the Eastern Senior Tournament in 1957 where he lost to Herbert A. Baron in the second round.<ref name="NYT2" />
==Playing style== At the peak of his career in 1932, Rogers' play was observed by Great Britain's then active Davis Cup player Nigel Sharpe, who described Rogers as the tallest man on the field at the time who took advantage of his height. From the baseline he had great reach, but in volleying lacked sufficient quickness to cover the net at its full length and moved uncomfortably in the forecourt. So he was one of the few baseliners of his time. He hit the ball flat and with a short swing. His first serve had great speed, while the second was rather a kick-serve, which showed to be his weakness. His forehand drive was strong and his overhead smashes were fine enough. In doubles he positioned himself between the T-line and the baseline, an unorthodox gameplan.<ref name="Straits3" />
==Personal life== Apart from playing tennis, Rogers was an amateur boxer.<ref name="Straits" /> He was trained by Don McCorkindale in Slough, with whom he had a scheduled sparring bout in Bedford although it was later cancelled because it would have been a breach of amateur boxing rules.<ref name="Straits" /> He also coached tennis to younger talents such as Alice Lavery, who reached the finals of the Cannes handicap tournament.<ref name="Summer" />
In 1931, he was engaged to Marjorie Schiele, a 19-year-old Cincinnati heiress, however the engagement was called off the next year.<ref name="NYT" /> At that time, he resided at the French Riviera.<ref name="Straits3" /> His wife died in a hospital during a surgery in Montreux, Switzerland in 1937.<ref name="singfreepress" /> Rogers married again in 1939 to Swiss-born Greta Konenberg, a fashion travel agent to whom he was introduced three years before.<ref name="singfreepress" /> They incidentally met again in the Sporting Club of Monte Carlo after his wife's death.<ref name="singfreepress" />
Rogers divorced and married for the third time in 1951 to June Sears of California,<ref name="longbeachind" /> a University of California graduate in merchandising and subsequent real estate agent with whom he settled in Los Angeles.<ref name="orthohospital.org" /> He died at Los Angeles County General Hospital in 1962.<ref name="probate"/>
