Eva Slaninkova

Vice President – Tournaments and Operations

Eva Slaninkova brings more than 20 years of international experience in professional tennis and major global sports event operations to APG.

Born and raised in former Czechoslovakia and now based in Prague, Czech Republic, Eva has been immersed in tennis from an early age. She completed her education at a specialized sports school, earning a diploma in tennis and tennis coaching principles. Her career began on court as a competitive player, before naturally progressing to international officiating as an ITF White Badge–certified official, and later into senior tournament and event operations roles.

Eva joined one of the Czech Republic’s leading tennis clubs, where she played a key role in the delivery of international tennis tournaments and major sports events nationwide. Her experience includes on-site involvement in more than 20 Davis Cup and Fed Cup ties, participation in several NHL Global Series games, and operational roles at the annual Laver Cup. She later held senior operational positions at WTA 250 tournaments in Prague and WTA 500 tournaments in Ostrava.

Beyond tennis, Eva has been a member of the Organizing Committee for the Global Champions Prague Playoffs since 2018—one of Prague’s most prestigious international equestrian events—further highlighting the breadth of her multi-sport event expertise.

Over the past three years, Eva has worked closely with APG as a consultant and Co-Tournament Director for WTA events in China and Thailand. Following this successful collaboration, she officially joined APG full-time in January 2026 as Vice President – Tournament and Operations. In this role, Eva oversees end-to-end tournament delivery, including strategic planning, operations, compliance, and stakeholder coordination. She also leads APG’s internal operational development, supporting the organization’s continued expansion and growth across its international tournament portfolio.
