3 Years Since Its Inception, 36YO Novak Djokovic Takes Center Stage as He Passionately Argues to Take His Rebel Tennis Association Seriously

When Novak Djokovic entered the tennis world, he had one goal. To write his name in the history books. However, it became more than that for the World No.2 over the years. After winning an all-time record 23 Grand Slam titles, he decided to help others on the tour. In 2019, he founded the Professional Tennis Players Association, which represents players and is another strong organization in the tennis world.

The Serbian icon recently opened up about the vision that he has in mind for the PTPA. Let’s take a look at what the 36-year-old had to say about creating an organization that is standing tall with growing player support.

Novak Djokovic’s vision for the PTPA 

The Professional Tennis Players Association has often taken a step forward to support the players in their tough circumstances within the tennis arena. Now four years after its inception, the PTPA shared a video of the founder, passionately talking about his rebel Tennis Association.

He said, “I feel like with PTPA growing stronger day by day, the player’s voices will be stronger and stronger. Ideally, I would want to see PTPA really take over in fully representing players, both men and women on whatever respective tours fully. Because we would be then the only, as we are currently, the only organization that holds 100% players’ interest in their agenda, in their structure.” 

In addition, he also talked about how, rather than looking for two different subordinates, he is trying to bring everyone under the same roof, regardless of gender. Djokovic further highlighted how his organization can use their help to create a good balance in the ecosystem of tennis.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time he got real about the tennis association. A few years ago, when the PTPA was quite young, he voiced his opinion regarding what kind of void he wanted to fill with his organization.

While the PTPA was formed in 2019, just a year later, Novak Djokovic, while preparing for the ATP finals in London, reflected on the main objective of the organization. He stated clearly that with the help of this, they just want all players of different levels to be heard and their problems to be taken into consideration.
