'Tennis innovator': Craig Tiley docushort set to premiere at the end of September
Former Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley has been filmed in a docushort which will be released at the end of the month.
Tiley, who accepted the United States Tennis Association (USTA) CEO role earlier this year, has had cameras following him during his final weeks at Tennis Australia and his new start at the USTA.
Listen to The First Serve Live every Monday at 8pm AEST in its 18th year on the SEN Network/App, Australia's only dedicated weekly tennis program on commercial radio running through till the end of November.
Exclusively reported by Jessica Schiffer, Tennis Channel filmed the docushort in Melbourne and Lake Nona, titled 'Craig Tiley: Tennis Innovator'.
It takes a deeper look into how Tiley transformed the Australian Open as Tournament Director, and what he hopes to implement in the USA, as he aims to leave his own mark on the American tennis governing body and the US Open.
"The great saying that I live by every day is 'the pain of change is greater than the pain of losing'," Tiley said in the docushort trailer.
It premieres on September 29 on Tennis Channel and YouTube.

Craig Tiley’s story is fascinating because tennis administration rarely gets this kind of cinematic treatment. A docushort premiering in late September could spark real debate about innovation versus controversy, especially given his tenure. I just hope it doesn’t gloss over the harder questions. On a different storytelling note, I’ve been hooked on narrative-driven horror lately; the The False Sun walkthrough page is a great free resource for all 20 endings and profiles. It’s surprisingly deep.
Interesting to see Craig Tiley getting the docushort treatment — his push for innovation in Australian tennis, from revamping the summer calendar to those heat-policy debates, deserves a closer look. On a related note, I've been filling the gaps between matches with endless word ladder puzzles — no daily cap, just start whenever you feel like it. There's a handy poople answer archive if you get stuck on a tricky chain. Curious what everyone else thinks the doc will focus on.
