SANTIAGO, Chile — American David Haggerty has been elected to a four-year term as the president of the International Tennis Federation.
Haggerty was elected Friday by the ITF — best known for running the Davis Cup and the women's Fed Cup — and replaces Francesco Ricci Bitti of Italy who held the post for 16 years.
"It is a privilege and an honor to be elected President of the ITF. Tennis is the common language that binds all our member nations. It is important that we continue to listen to each other and work together to keep the ITF strong.
