Alcaraz and Sinner Pay Tribute to Stacey Allaster After Her Departure from the US Open
New York – Stacey Allaster was honored by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday, after concluding her tenure as US Open tournament director.
Allaster, the first woman to hold that position, announced at the end of last year that she would leave her position and that of executive director of professional tennis of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to take on an advisory role, in order to dedicate herself to other interests.
Both finalists thanked him during the trophy presentations, after Alcaraz defeated Sinner to win the title.
Allaster joined the USTA in 2016 and became the US Open tournament director in 2020. Previously, she was the president and CEO of the WTA, influential in the growth of women’s tennis and in achieving equal prize money for women at the French Open and Wimbledon, something the US Open already offered.
Will continue to collaborate in the search for a new tournament director.
