Novak Djokovic’s plan works on a sliding scale. Players ranked higher in the top 100 will contribute more than the people ranked lower in the top 100. John Isner praised Novak for leading the charge on this plan and also praised Rafa and Roger who worked with him. He said,
“Of course, guys like Novak, Roger and Rafa, they’re doing just fine but, we all realize that the tour is more than just a hand full of players and that we have to help everyone out.”

Due to the suspension of the tennis season, lower-ranked players have lost their primary source of income. With the coronavirus pandemic getting worse and worse, they might not play professional tennis for a long time. This is why this initiative is absolutely necessary to support those players.
John Isner said the details of this plan are being ironed out but we can expect it to be set in motion soon enough. Hopefully, the contributions are enough to support all the players.
