The 53-year-old Masur has worked closely with Rafter as a
deputy and will look to get the best out of a crop of talented
young juniors.
"Wally will ensure a seamless transition and brings with him the
full gamut of experience along the performance pathway, having
spent many years running and coaching one of the biggest
national academies in NSW as well as serving as Davis Cup coach
and then captain,” TA president Steve Healy said in a media
release on Friday.
Rafter, who headed the high performance unit for two years,
would take a break from administration but continue to play a
role in Australian tennis in the future, he said.
“The time is right for me, I came in to Davis Cup and then in
this role because I wanted to make a difference and I feel we
have taken some major strides," said Rafter.
