Allaster is the  former CEO of the WTA women’s tour and since 2016 has been working for the United States Tennis Association (USTA) as the chief executive of professional tennis. She’ll stay in that role in addition to taking on the Tournament Director spot replacing David Brewer who stepped down last year.

“Stacey Allaster is an internationally renowned sports and entertainment leader, a champion of equality and an innovator in the sport of tennis,” said USTA Chairman and President Patrick Galbraith in a USTA press release. “She is the perfect leader to ensure the US Open continues to thrive and attracts new generations of fans and players in the years to come, and we’re proud to welcome her as the tournament’s first-ever female Tournament Director.”

The US Open is scheduled to make a decision about whether the tournament will take place in mid-June. The tennis tour has been suspended until the end of July due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
