“Roger Federer Is a Super-Smart Guy” – Vasek Pospisil Reveals the Effect of ‘Big 3’ on the ATP Player Council

The ATP player council is really important for the players. The 12 member council represents all the players and suggests decisions to the directors of ATP. And now the council has Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal as members and Novak Djokovic as the president.

Federer and Nadal rejoined the council last year. And now having the Big 3 in the council could be a different experience for other players. Those three are one of the most decorated and celebrated players in history and so their influence will be unmatched.

“Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic are incredible athletes” – Vasek Pospisil

Another member of the council Vasek Pospisil recently spoke about Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic’s presence in the council. Pospisil recalled their first council meeting where he was sitting and discussing with the trio. He called it an amazing experience.

“It is a pretty amazing experience. And I was actually sitting and it was me and to my left was Novak to my right Roger and then Nadal was right beside him.” Pospisil said in the ATP Tennis Radio podcast.

He indicated that the trio work very well together and are strong characters. And as they are one of the greatest athletes, Pospisil thinks it is cool and the dynamics are very interesting.

“These are three incredible athletes to be involved in the council, with them it’s pretty cool and I think the dynamic is interesting because you have three strong individuals, they have strong opinions as we all do in the council,” Pospisil said

Now, these three are huge figures so Pospisil acknowledged that it can be challenging. But as they are very open-minded they work very well as a team.

“When you have three guys coming in with the position that they come in, it can be challenging, they work very well together, they are very open-minded, Novak’s been incredible, I have spent most of the time with Novak since the day I joined. Roger when he came on he brought a different perspective and he is a super-smart guy and very open-minded so it’s been a very cool experience. “ Pospisil said

With the experience and stature the trio brings in, other players will be happy with them representing their interests in the council.
