Tournament Director, official, father, husband, friend. Tennis has lost one of its own. Rudi Berger passed away today after losing his battle with cancer.









The tennis world is saying farewell to distinguished official Rudi Berger, who passed away Wednesday. Gayle David Bradshaw, the ATP's Executive Vice President of Rules and Competition, pays tribute to one of tennis's favorite sons.

For those lucky enough to know Rudi well, it did not take them long to see that behind the larger-than-life exterior, there was a man with a heart of gold; a man that loved his family; loved his sport; loved his friends; loved his profession. He was also a man who was loved by all who knew him – and a man who will be very much missed.
