Dec 22, 2011, 14:51 GMT
London - The ATP on Thursday ended more than half a year of uncertainty, appointing former player Brad Drewett to head the men's tennis organisation from January 1.
Australian Drewett, a longtime head of the Asian division of the sanctioning body who has been mainly responsible for the successful marketing thrust into China over the past decade, takes over from lawyer Adam Helfant, who will leave next week at the end of a three-year contract.
Drewett, 53, was named as Executive Chairman and President and will be based in London as he moves from his base in Sydney. His contract calls for a three-year term, with the choice voted unanimously by the Board of Directors.
