Krajicek says he'd happily accept ATP top job
12/2/11 3:34 PM | Johan Lindahl

As the self-imposed end-of-year deadline for replacing outgoing ATP chief Adam Helfant ticks ever closer, snippets of information are starting to emerge from what look to be divided discussions behind closed doors.

One of the top candidates remains 1996 Wimbledon winner Richard Krajicek, who now runs the Rotterdam indoor event.

But despite a friendship with Roger Federer - who will play Rotterdam for the first time since 2005 in two months - reports indicate that the Swiss, who heads the Player Council, is lobbying for a more business-oriented CEO. It is said that Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal favour the Dutchman.

Krajicek, 40, has finally gone on the record to say he would like to get the job. He will have even more of a platform as he plays this week at the veterans event at London's Royal Albert Hall.

"I have made it plain I'm keen on getting the job," Krajicek told British media. "But I don't want to be seen shouting about it. The ATP board have interviewed me, and it's now up to them to make their decision. I'll just have to be patient. And, in the meantime, I want to say as little as possible."
