“Craig has spent his career at the forefront of our sport and brings a unique global perspective to the USTA,” said Vahaly. “We are fortunate to have him guide the organization into its next chapter as we build on six consecutive years of participation growth and continue our mission to grow tennis in America. I am confident his leadership will take both American tennis and the US Open to new heights.”
Tiley joins the USTA after a 21-year career at Tennis Australia where he most recently served as CEO and tournament director of the Australian Open. During that time, he was responsible for driving explosive tennis growth, both for recreational tennis and at the Australian Open. His distinguished career spans successful leadership in collegiate coaching, running community tennis, and administration of the Australian Open.
“I want to thank Brian and the USTA Board for their support. I am excited by the incredible opportunities in front of us and the tremendous team we have to go get them,” Tiley said.
