Justin Gimelstob's future on the ATP Board will be decided by fellow board members and the ATP Player Council.

The 42-year-old Gimelstob was sentenced to three years probation in a Los Angeles court on Monday in an assault case.

Gimelstob, once rumored to be a potential successor to ATP President Chris Kermode, has served on the board since June, 2018. 

"Justin Gimelstob holds an elected position as one of the three Player Representatives on the ATP Board of Directors and under our organisation's by-laws his position is therefore a matter of review for the ATP Player Council and/or the ATP Board," the ATP announced in a statement. "The decision was taken to let the judicial process run its course before any judgement was made on his future, so with that process complete this is now a subject for review by the Board and/or the Player Council.

"As a related matter, the election for the role of the next Americas Player Representative on the ATP Board—the position currently held by Gimelstob—will take place as scheduled on Tuesday, May 14, in Rome

Gimelstob agreed to plead no contest to a felony battery charge, which the judge reduced to a misdemeanor.

Under plea terms, Gimelstob will also serve 60 days of community service and complete 52 weeks of anger management classes for the Halloween attack on venture capitalist and former friend Randall Kaplan, whose wife, Madison, charges stress from assault caused her to have a miscarriage.

In a bizarre story, Gimelstob, reportedly dressed as a pilot from the film Top Gun, allegedly snuck up behind Kaplan, who was walking with his wife and and two-year-old daughter in Los Angeles at about 6:30 on Halloween night.

Gimelstob attacked Kaplan from behind striking him 50 times and threatening to "f--king kill" him, Kaplan told police.

“During that time, I was punched at least 50 times but when you count it — 1 ... 2 … 3 ... the actual number was likely over 100,” Kaplan told the court in comments published by The Los Angeles Times. “I realized that people had finally stepped in to pull my attacker off of me, who was still saying, ‘I’m going to … kill you’ while he pointed at me with eyes of a crazed lunatic.”
