LONDON — Andrea Gaudenzi was reelected as chairman of the ATP men’s professional tennis tour on Thursday, giving him a third term that runs through 2028.
Gaudenzi, a former player, first took over the tour in January 2020. The ATP said total annual player compensation for tour-level events has climbed by $100 million during his tenure to roughly $270 million in 2025 — and to $400 million when Grand Slam tournaments are included.
“When I reflect on what we’ve achieved, I see a sport with stronger foundations than ever, underpinned by record growth that speaks to tennis’s potential,” Gaudenzi said in a statement. “Now is the time to keep pushing.”
