Australian tennis players, led by Alex de Minaur, are lobbying for former player and parliamentarian Sam Groth to take on a senior leadership position within Australian tennis administration. Multiple outlets report that the group of players is seeking a role that would involve working across areas including player engagement and high-performance outcomes. The proposed remit also includes responsibility connected to the Australian Open.
The reporting is consistent that de Minaur is at the forefront of the push, with other Australian players supporting the effort to secure Groth a broader management portfolio. While the articles describe the scope of the role in terms of engagement, performance and the Australian Open, they do not specify the exact title, appointment process, or whether Groth has formally confirmed interest or participation. The coverage focuses on the players’ collective advocacy and the intentions for how such a position would align tennis leadership with both player needs and competitive standards.
Overall, the story centers on a coordinated push by leading Australian players to bring Groth into a senior administrative capacity.
