ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Craig Tiley will take over as the CEO of the U.S. Tennis Association<\/a> this year, the group that runs the U.S. Open<\/a> announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Tiley is leaving his post as the head of Tennis Australia and the tournament director of its Grand Slam tournament, the Australian Open.<\/p>\n

The USTA said in a news release that Tiley will start the new job in the coming months.<\/p>\n

He replaces Lew Sherr, who left the USTA last year to join the New York Mets<\/a> as their president of business operations. Sher had been the USTA\u2019s CEO since 2022.<\/p>\n

Tiley, who is from South Africa, was the head coach of men\u2019s tennis team at the University of Illinois from 1994 to 2005, including an NCAA championship and 32-0 record in 2003.<\/p>\n

He was the Australian Open\u2019s tournament director since 2006 and oversaw its expansion to a 15-day event<\/a>, breaking attendance and revenue records. Tiley became the CEO of Tennis Australia in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cCraig brings a rare combination of global credibility at the highest level of the sport and a proven commitment to growing the game at the grassroots. That balance is exactly what this moment requires,\u201d said Brian Vahaly, the USTA Board chair and the USTA\u2019s interim co-CEO.<\/p>\n
