Craig Tiley, the longtime chief of Tennis Australia and tournament director of the Australian Open, has been named the new chief executive of the United States Tennis Association. The 64-year-old South African will assume the role later this year, replacing Lew Sherr and returning to the US where he once coached college tennis. Tiley's move comes amid ongoing transformations in professional tennis governance and player relations.
Elena Rybakina defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set Australian Open final, prompting tournament director Craig Tiley to advocate for best-of-five sets in women's matches. Tiley praised the match's intensity and suggested implementing the change by 2027. The proposal revives long-standing debates in the sport.
