The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) has announced the initiation of legal proceedings in the US, UK, and EU against tennis governing bodies: ATP, WTA, ITF, and ITIA.
Several tennis players became co-plaintiffs alongside the PTPA. In its statements, the PTPA emphasizes "systemic abuse, anti-competitive practices, and a blatant disregard for player welfare that have persisted for decades."
The PTPA statement
The ATP, WTA, ITF, and ITIA operate as a cartel by implementing a number of draconian, interlocking anti-competitive restraints and abusive practices.
The PTPA was co-founded by Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, and Canadian player Vasek Pospisil, who won the Wimbledon doubles title.
