The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), led by World No.1
Novak Djokovic, has made it's plans known for the 2024 season, with their primary goal being to be the representative of male and female tennis players.
Djokovic co-founded the PTPA alongside Canadian tennis player
Vasek Pospisil in 2019. Their initial goal was to represent players' rights and fill in the gaps overlooked by the
WTA and
ATP, and the body has seen grown since it's inception.
PTPA releases agenda for 2024 season
The PTPA has gained more prominent members, with Hubert Hurkacz, Ons Jabeur, Paula Badosa and John Isner joining the group. The organization's Executive Director, Ahmad Nassar, recently announced their plans for the upcoming year, stating their goal was to represent the athletes' perspective regarding schedules, safety, rewards, and regulations in the ATP and WTA Tours.
Below is the list of motives the PTPA would like to establish in during the 2024 season.
• Commission an independent review of the tennis ecosystem (legal, business, structure, and more). The status quo is unacceptable.
• Demand a direct seat at the table as the ONLY independent player organization representing both women and men.
• Create even more support and value for players on tour.
• Seek continued improvements for players, fans, tournaments & commercial partners alike.
