World No. 1 Novak Djokovic had stated publicly that ATP, the governing body of men’s tennis has not been looking after the male tennis players. Along with Vasek Pospisil, Novak launched a project named PTPA way back in 2019 for safeguarding and supporting men’s and women’s tennis players, looking after their rights in the game, and addressing several problems in the sport.

In a recent interview, Novak talked about how much of a problem he has had managing his association as he declared that not many governing bodies have been supportive of their projects and plans. Djokovic said:

Some other, you know governing bodies in our sport have not been very supportive of PTPA or I would say have been pretty much ignoring PTPA.

But, we are there and we are getting stronger and stronger day by day, gaining more trust and more support from players, players recognizing the importance of PTPA as an organization for them and representing their rights. Because at the end of the day, we are the only association in our sport that really has 100% interest of players.
