Tennis NZ boss calls it quits

Tennis New Zealand's CEO is moving on.

After three years in the role, Steve Walker says he is returning to Australia to spend more time with his young family.

"I've enjoyed great support from a fantastic team here at Tennis NZ, as well as from right across the tennis stakeholder network," said Walker.

The TNZ board acknowledged his contribution to the game here.

"Steve has made a huge effort for tennis in New Zealand and achieved great results," said TNZ board chairman, David Patterson.

Tennis NZ will seek to fill the role within the next two to three months.
