ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi wins reelection for a third term.
LONDON — Andrea Gaudenzi has been reelected as the chairman of the ATP men’s professional tennis tour on Thursday, securing a third term that will extend until 2028.
Gaudenzi, who is a former player, initially assumed leadership of the tour in January 2020. The ATP reported that total annual player compensation for tour-level events has increased by $100 million during his leadership, reaching approximately $270 million in 2025, and $400 million when factoring in Grand Slam tournaments.
“When I consider our accomplishments, I recognize a sport with more robust foundations than ever, supported by unprecedented growth that highlights tennis’s potential,” Gaudenzi stated. “Now is the moment to continue advancing.”
Significant changes during his tenure have included the implementation of profit-sharing at ATP Masters 1000 events and the launch of 12-day Masters tournaments.
Saudi Arabia is set to host a new ATP Masters tournament, anticipated to commence in 2028, marking the first addition to the men’s tennis tour’s premium series since its inception in 1990.
This initiative to introduce a 10th Masters event coincides with players renewing their calls to reassess the lengthy and congested schedule of the sport.
