Former U.S. Tennis Association head David Haggerty was elected president of the International Tennis Federation on Friday at the ITF's annual general meeting here.

Haggerty, 58, was elected to a four-year term on the second ballot, collecting 200 votes to beat India's Anil Khanna who had 192.

He will succeed outgoing ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti, whose 16-year term ended on Friday.
