The breaking news Saturday from Wimbledon is that the three new players’ representative on the ATP board have been elected. The new Americas rep is former pro and current Tennis Channel commentator Justin Gimelstob, who replaces longtime Andre Agassi agent Perry Rogers. Rogers was voted out of his job by the players’ council in March.

Taking over the international position from Iggy Jovanovic is David Edges, a former IMG guy and now vice president with the Tennis Channel. Ivan Ljubicic will serve in the final vacant position as the European rep, replacing the ousted Jacco Eltingh. The Croat will serve as an interim rep until the U.S. Open.

These announcements, along with the names of the new 10-member players’ council, should be posted on the atptennis.com later. The ATP board reps are elected by the old players' council, which as of today is no longer in existence. But I'm told that the Big Three of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic -- all expected to be on the new council -- went in and spoke to the outgoing council members to let them know who they supported.

The ramifications of the new elections for the ATP leadership and other topics remain to be seen. It could clearly affect the major issue in front of the tour - the Hamburg lawsuit. If current leadership is removed, could the suit be settled before it goes to trial?
