In an uninterrupted movement that threatens to renew the present conjunction -the next -established tennis, the Association of Professional Tennis Player (PTPA) On Tuesday a lawsuit filed against the main organisms of his sport -Atp, WTA, International Federation (ITF) and International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) – they are accused of “operating like a cartel.”
The union, established in 2020’s Novak djokovic.
“Illegal, extensive and long -stolen skills are harmful to players, fans and tennis and represent a serious threat to their future. The demands expose systematic abuse, anti -Competitive skills and a fierce scandal for the well -being of the players who have been in the decades,” said PTPA.
“Tennis is broken,” said PTPA’s executive director, Ahmad Nassar. “After the attractive facade that the defendants promote, the players are trapped in an unfair system that exploits their talent, reduces their income and threatens their health and safety. Nassar.
The PTPA sets its main complaint with seven points. “Organs to reduce competition, organize awards and suppress players’ revenue, mandate ranking points, imposing an unstable calendar, disconsideration of players, financially exploits and violations of privacy rights,” read the PTPA’s statement, which will develop each chapter in detail.
“The weather is 11 months a year and the calendar is uncertain. Players are forced to compete at 38 and play with different balls by week, causing them 35% and 50%”, some of the complaints.
“It’s not just about money, but basic justice, human security and dignity,” he said Vasek postpisilco -Founder of the Union.
More than 250 players and top-20
Meetings before seeking
The PTPA has decided to submit the demand to verify the “extremely positive response” it obtained after the meeting “with more than 250 players from all circuits, including most top-20.” That answer “is a exciting confirmation that change is required today and that players are united in their struggle for reform. The beginning of legal actions represents an important step”
Both ATP and WTA respond hard to request. “This action is fortunate, wrong and we will defend our position vigorously at a time,” WTA said. “We have declined the basis of the claims, we believe the case is fully established,” the ATP said.
“While the ATP is dedicated to implementing reforms that benefit players at many levels, the PTPA will continue to choose dividing and disruption through misinformation rather than developing,” he added. The war, with no doubt, is open.
