Stacey Allaster to Step Down as US Open Tournament Director After 2025

The first woman to lead the US Open will transition to an advisory role after a groundbreaking career in professional tennis.

Stacey Allaster, the first female tournament director in US Open history, will step down following the 2025 event to take on a special advisory role with the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
Allaster has served as the US Open tournament director since 2020 and has been with the USTA since 2016, following her tenure as CEO and chairwoman of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).
Her leadership saw significant milestones, including record-breaking attendance at the 2024 US Open with over one million fans and the highest prize money in tennis history.
A champion for gender equality, Allaster played a key role in securing equal prize money at Wimbledon and the French Open during her time at the WTA, earning her numerous accolades, including Canada's highest civilian honor.
The USTA will begin the search for her successor after the 2025 US Open, with Allaster assisting in the process as she transitions to her next chapter focused on family, youth sports, and supporting women leaders in sports.
