USLTA Considers Amateur Rule Change and Merger Talks
The USLTA executive committee proposed redefining players who compete for more than actual expenses as players rather than amateurs. The plan also urges pursuit of a possible merger with the US Pro Lawn Tennis Assn. Delegates saw the Davis Cup flight diversion incident. The changes require formal approval at today’s meeting. Under 19 players remain amateurs then may opt to be players for prize money. Pro coaches and contract players stay classified as professionals.
