PTPA: Novak Djokovic co-founded player union launches legal action against tennis tours
Players often complain that they don’t get a very high percentage of the revenue generated by the sport, especially the four Grand Slams.
This is the driving force behind Djokovic’s desire to form PTPA.
Grand Slam tries to develop Advanced travel concept – With simplified seasons and greater financial returns – But so far, too many obstacles have been found on their path.
Pospisil said the lawsuit is about “fairness, security and basic human dignity.”
He added: “I am one of the lucky players and I still have to sleep in the car when I was traveling early in my career.”
“Imagine an NFL player being told that he has to sleep in a car during a away game. It’s ridiculous and never happens. No other important sports treats athletes this way.”
“It’s time to get into the free market troops into professional tennis,” said Drew Tulumello, of Gotshal & Manges, a law firm directed by PTPA.
PTPA looks jealously at the rewards received by players in the team’s sports, such as football, NFL, baseball and basketball – which are also more comparable sports in golf.
Many who join the Breakaway Liv Tour now enjoy greater wealth, but lose the ranking that helps make it to the main championship.
Saudi Arabia’s intervention caused a lot of pain, but golf changed golf.
The PTPA approach is very different, but may produce similar effects.
