Djokovic Quits PTPA Over Transparency, Governance Concerns

  • Novak Djokovic, 24-time Grand Slam champion, has left the Professional Tennis Players’ Association (PTPA).
  • He cited concerns over transparency, governance, and misalignment with the organization's current direction.
  • Djokovic co-founded the PTPA five years ago with Vasek Pospisil to give players an independent voice.
  • The PTPA initiated legal action against ATP and WTA, alleging anti-competitive practices and player welfare issues.
  • World number one Carlos Alcaraz did not support the PTPA's legal action, despite being quoted in the lawsuit.

Why It Matters: Djokovic departs PTPA, citing transparency and governance issues, signaling a major shift for the players' union.
