The recent Cancun controversy has generated a lot of heat from almost everyone in the tennis circuit. While there are many polarizing opinions on the issue, what remains a fact is the disastrous mismanagement. The players have already expressed how much compromises they had to make during the event. However, in a recent turn of events, the World’s No.1 Novak Djokovic has seemingly pushed his association to handle the issue. 

The Professional Tennis Players Association, founded by Novak Djokovic and Vasek Posoisil, has released a statement that is fixated on the Cancun situation. Questions have been made and a helping hand has also been forwarded. What is the PTPA trying to attain?

Novak Djokovic and the PTPA are concerned about women’s tennis

Precision and skill reign supreme in every sport. Even the most minute disruptions can alter the course of a game. This year’s WTA Finals in Cancun bore the brunt of nature’s unpredictability in a not-so-good way. The sun-kissed shores of Cancun should have provided the perfect backdrop for an elite tennis event. However, the weather gods had other plans. Strong winds and relentless rainstorms disrupted matches and turned the pristine courts into a battleground against the elements. While the unpredictable weather conditions were a significant setback, they weren’t the only issues plaguing the event. Players found themselves grappling with a lack of amenities that fell far short of their expectations. 

The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) stepped up to address this turmoil. Their statement was brimming with concern and determination. They have called for an independent third-party report to investigate the various lapses. In their words: “Now that the event is behind us, we hereby invite the WTA to co-commission an independent, third-party report that delves into the numerous, glaring breakdowns that occurred over the past several months.” Their call for a collaborative effort with the WTA to resolve these issues is very crucial as it comes with a deadline of 10 days.
