The ATP Tuesday named former player and current senior executive Brad Drewett president and chief executive officer of the tennis organization. Drewett, 53, a two-time Australian Open junior champion who played Davis Cup tennis for Australia, was unanimously approved to a three-year term by the ATP board of directors in London replacing outgoing Chairman and President Adam Helfant. "I am honored to have this opportunity to lead the ATP, an organization that I am proud to have been a part of since the beginning of my professional playing career," said Drewett. "The ATP World Tour and men's tennis are stronger than ever and it is my intention to continue to lead the organization on this successful path, working hand in hand with our players and tournaments."
