The house at 73 Nepean Highway, Aspendale, has been sold by ex-Tennis Australia chief executive Craig Tiley.
Former Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley has finally netted a sale for his Aspendale beachfront mansion after discounting the price by millions of dollars.
Mr Tiley, who is now the United States Tennis Association’s chief executive, splashed $13.1m on the luxurious house in 2022.
It was listed with a $11.5m price tag in March, although this was later changed to $8.75m – a sum $4.35m less than it first hit the market for.

Mr Tiley, who previously served as a South African tennis executive and US college tennis coach, was appointed Tennis Australia’s director of player development in 2005.
A year later, he became the Australian Open tournament director and then the sporting organisation’s chief executive in 2013.
He was head of Tennis Australia in 2022, when Serbian champion Novak Djokovic was controversially given an exemption to compete at that year’s Open despite not confirming his Covid vaccination status.
Djokovic did not end up playing in the Open after he was deported, following an Australian government decision to cancel his visa.
Panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay are on offer.
The mansion is close to cafes, public transport, Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls’ Grammar and Haileybury.
In February, Mr Tiley announced he would leave Tennis Australia to take up his new US role.
