Djokovic's player union launches legal action against tours
The player advocacy organisation founded by Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil has launched a lawsuit against the governing bodies of professional tennis, marking an escalation in its battle to secure better rights for players.
The six-year-old Professional Tennis Players Association, which has struggled to drive change from outside the system, is now pursuing legal action against the ATP Tour, WTA Tour, the International Tennis Federation and the International Tennis Integrity Agency.
The 163-page complaint, filed in the US, lists 12 current and former players as plaintiffs, including Nick Kyrgios.
It alleges that the governing bodies have systematically suppressed competition, manipulated prize-money structures and imposed restrictive ranking systems that prevent players from seeking alternative earnings.
In a statement announcing the lawsuit, the PTPA described the legal action as a necessary step after years of failed attempts to push for reform.
"Following years of good-faith efforts to reform professional tennis, the PTPA has taken decisive legal action," it said.
