Stuart Duguid, who recently joined IMG’s tennis division, will lead the players’ management teams.
“Both Agnieszka and Kevin have enjoyed the best seasons of their careers this year and we look forward to building their brands on and off the tennis court,” said Fernando Soler, head of IMG’s tennis division. “We are also excited to welcome Stuart to IMG and we look forward to building a world-class team around him.”
The 26-year-old Radwanska won three of her 17 titles—Tokyo, Tianjin and the WTA Finals—this season. Radwanska reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 in July 2012 after falling to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon final. Radwanska was voted the sport’s most popular player by WTA fans for four consecutive years (2011–2014).
Anderson upset Andy Murray en route to the US Open quarterfinals and achieved his highest ranking of No.10 in October. The 29-year-old has three career singles titles and is the first man from South Africa to be ranked in the Top 10 since 1997 when Wayne Ferreira was a Top 10-ranked player.
