“Want Players Of All Levels To Be Heard” – Novak Djokovic Explains The Main Objectives Of PTPA
Follow Us
World No.1 Novak Djokovic is considered one of the most brutal forces in our sport. Post-2011, the Serb transformed his game and took it to another dimension. His ability to turn defense into attack still remains unmatched. The manner in which he can place the backhand on either side of the court is his backbone.
Around the course of the US Open this year, Novak led a group of players and resigned from the ATP Players Council. He, along with Vasek Pospisil and John Isner, formed the PTPA (Professional Tennis Players Association), stating that it would represent the voice of the lesser-known players.

“We do not want to have an aggressive approach as has been said. We want players of all levels to be heard and their problems are taken into account, especially since hundreds of Players complain about the current system. We have to see how players can benefit from tennis, to be able to participate more and be able to make a living from that.”
