Greg Sharko is the director of Media Relations and Information for the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) but he is perhaps best known for his statistical work, sometimes called the "staff guru" of the ATP. He has been nicknamed "Shark"〔("Newk on Ryan Harrison" )〕〔( Greg Sharko: The Man Behind the Stats )〕 and is considered a statistical and historical expert on men's professional tennis.〔(ATP International Tennis Weekly: July 24, 2000 )〕 He currently lives in Ponte Vedra, Florida. ==Biography== Sharko has worked for the ATP since 1986.〔( Greg Sharko: The Man Behind the Stats )〕 He writes a regular column, "Shark Bites", for the ATP's website in which he analyzes and writes about various statistics related to men's tennis; "Shark Bites" is also featured in the ATP's official magazine DEUCE, where it has appeared since the Spring 2005 issue.〔(DEUCE Magazine Spring 2005 Issue on Sale )〕 Sharko has said that when he first joined the ATP, a lot of statistical categories and charts weren't yet developed; he helped develop statistical data in part to help create content for the annual ATP Media Guide.〔( Greg Sharko: The Man Behind the Stats )〕 Sharko has written every ATP Media Guide since its creation in 1990.〔http://google.com/search?q=cache:LxSoGlgazVAJ:www.stevegtennis.com/rankings/2000/itw072400.pdf+greg+sharko&cd=122&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us ATP International Tennis Weekly: July 24, 2000〕 In July 2000 he was promoted to the ATP's Director of Communications in the Americas.〔http://google.com/search?q=cache:LxSoGlgazVAJ:www.stevegtennis.com/rankings/2000/itw072400.pdf+greg+sharko&cd=122&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us ATP International Tennis Weekly: July 24, 2000〕 Journalists often refer to Sharko for help with statistics and issues of clarification,〔(Reasons to be thankful )〕 and journalist Peter Bodo has jokingly referred to Sharko as "the hands-down MVP of the ATP Tour (Roger, Rafa and Novak nonwithstanding)"〔(Can Anyone Stop Safin? )〕 Sports Illustrated writer L.
