Game. Set. Match. 🎾🙏🏼🎾 After 12 amazing years across 5 different roles, I’ve recently made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Tennis Australia. It has been a privilege to lead an incredible team in the delivery of amazing events, including the world’s greatest sports and entertainment event, the Australian Open. To have been a part of driving the growth of the AO from 640,000 fans in 2014 to over 1 million in 2024, has been unbelievable. It has been a journey for the ages and I am most proud of the magical experiences we have delivered for our fans, players, partners and workforce. I am filled with emotions - gratitude being a key one. I'm grateful to Craig Tiley for the mentorship and opportunities to grow, learn and make an impact along the way. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing partners and suppliers to bring our events to life. Most importantly, I am grateful for the amazing opportunity I have had to work with, and learn from, talented and committed colleagues, many whom have become lifelong friends. I look forward to watching the Australian summer of tennis continue to go from strength to strength. As for me - I’m really excited for the challenges that lay ahead and am looking forward to catching the Euros in Germany next week ⚽️😬 🙏🏼🎾
12 huge years. Massive commitment to the sport! Will never forget 21 & 22, but you leave on a high after the best AO ever. Can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you for everything Alex and best wishes for the next chapter. You’ve been integral to the team which has elevated the AO to greater heights. You will be missed.
Mic drop. Leaving on the highest of highs after delivering the biggest tennis event ever globally at the 2024 Australian Open. We will miss you dearly but wish you all the best. Visit us as a guest! 🎾✨

Amazing legacy you leave at TA Alex, but a fantastic ride together for the past 11 years.
Congratulations on an amazing career at TA, you can be extremely proud of the legacy you have left. It was a pleasure working with you for my short time there.
Congrats once again Alex on a fabulous tenure at TA and leaving AO in the great shape that it is. I'm sure we'll chat soon, enjoy a well deserved break.
Congratulations! Gee there is so much for you to be proud of Alex, your effort and impact at Tennis was remarkable. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and wish you nothing but the best for your next chapter 🌺
