PTPA Sues Major Tennis Organizations Over Alleged Exploitation and Corruption

The Djokovic-led players' union accuses ATP, WTA, ITF, and ITIA of operating a cartel that endangers players' health, suppresses earnings, and restricts competition.

The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) has filed lawsuits in the USA, UK, and EU against major tennis organizations, including the ATP, WTA, ITF, and ITIA.
The lawsuits allege systemic corruption, anti-competitive practices, and exploitative conditions that harm players' health, safety, and earnings.
PTPA Executive Director Ahmad Nassar stated that dialogue for reform with the organizations has failed, leaving legal action as the only option.
The ATP and WTA have denied the allegations, calling them baseless and accusing the PTPA of spreading misinformation and fostering division.
PTPA co-founder Vasek Pospisil emphasized that the lawsuits focus on fairness, safety, and dignity for players, not financial gain.
