A new major role for Craig Tiley in 2026? Director of the Australian Open since 2006 and head of Tennis Australia since 2013, the 63-year-old executive could soon leave his positions.

New boss of American tennis?

According to Sportico, Tiley is on track to become the new director of the USTA (United States Tennis Association), the American tennis federation.

The USTA has indeed been without a director since last summer, following the departure of Lew Sherr. Tiley is expected to succeed him after a recruitment process that lasted nearly six months.

His presence at the next Australian Open (January 18 - February 1) remains uncertain, as he could take up his new duties in the coming weeks.

That's a shame. He's been synonymous with the oz open for so long.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
