Craig Tiley, the former head of Tennis Australia, is set to take the helm as the CEO of the United States Tennis Association (USTA). He follows Lew Sherr, who left the role to join Major League Baseball’s New York Mets.
Tiley, recognized for his transformative leadership at the Australian Open, aims to replicate similar success in the U.S. His tenure in Melbourne saw record-breaking attendance and revenue, largely through innovative changes and expanding the tournament’s format.
As Tiley steps into his new position, he faces considerable challenges. He aims to unite tennis authorities to create a better product and increase player earnings, aligning with his goal of enhancing the sport both in the U.S. and globally.
