ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi Reelected to Second Term, Vows Increased Cooperation and Continued Reforms

  • Gaudenzi introduced a 50-50 profit-sharing formula resulting in a $37.5 million rise in prize money across the ATP Tour and lower-tier ATP Challenger Tour in 2023.
  • Other achievements include the introduction of 12-day Masters 1000 tournaments, long-term aggregation of media rights, increased player pension contributions, and a 75% increase in ATP Challenger Tour prize money to $21.1 million this year.
  • Gaudenzi presented an ambitious OneVision strategic plan to revolutionize the sport after taking over in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced sporting bodies into crisis mode.
  • Under phase one of the OneVision plan, which came into effect in 2023, the ATP generated the largest single-year increase in player compensation in its history.
  • Gaudenzi aims to increase cooperation among the seven governing bodies of tennis, including the WTA, the International Tennis Federation, and the four Grand Slam tournaments.
