(FILES) A file photo taken in Melbourne on September 27, 2005 shows Tennis Australia President, Geoff Pollard (L) and Chief Executive Paul McNamee (R) speaking to the media as they announce that prize money for the 2006 Australian Open will make it one of the richest sports events in the world. The long-serving Tennis Australia president Geoff Pollard on October 26, 2009, beat off a challenge to remain in charge of the sport for another 12 months, dismaying Australia's leading player Lleyton Hewitt. Pollard, 65, who has been TA president since 1989, beat former Australian Open Tournament Director Paul McNamee in a secret ballot of the governing body’s state and territory delegates, the organisation said. McNamee's bid had the support of two-time grand slam champion and former world number one Hewitt, who called for an immediate change in the administration of the sport in Australia.
