Novak Djokovic explained why he did not sign PTPA. Earlier, the Association, which he created along with your spelling in 2020, sued the leading tennis bodies: ATP, WTA, ITF and ITIA. The plaintiffs claim that they limit tennis players. They are also dissatisfied with the schedule, rating and anti -doping system.
It is known that the claims were also signed by Nick Kirios, Railly Opel, Vask, Tennis Sandgren, Soran Kyrti, Varvara Gracheva, Anastasia Rodionova, Korenten Muta and Taro Daniel.
It seemed to me that it was not worth signing the lawsuit - I wanted other players to take a step forward. I was already very active in tennis policy. I tried to do everything possible even in those periods of career when I played most matches via sport news and I did not have much time and effort.
But I felt that I have some responsibility and that I should use my influence, support players and fight for their rights. This happens for almost 20 years in the tour.
I saw some changes, but still there are fundamental issues that have yet to be resolved. And I really hope that all leading organizations, including PTPA, will unite and find a solution to these problems.
Many always expect that I will express this issue on how I do it now. And this is not difficult for me - but I would like the current leaders of tours and future generations to be initiative and understand that these issues are important. Not only for themselves, but also for all the players they represent.
Even if you do not meet PTPA or any other organization representing the interests of players, if you are a top game, you are an example for hundreds and thousands of professional tennis players around the world.
Personally, I believe that responsibility comes with this status. It is necessary to carry this load and always remember that once he himself was in their place. We all know how hard it is to break through on the tour for the first couple of years, "the Serb said at the Masters press conference in Miami.
The Union of Djokovic sued tours for violations of players` rights and a cartel conspiracy. What is the essence of the claims?
