Novak Djokovic Union Union shoots legal fire against tennis ruling bodies

Tennis Federation, which Novak Djokovic participated in Tuesday, announced on Tuesday a series of legal measures aimed at sports government agencies, claiming “anti -competition restrictions and abusive practices.” The Professional Tennis players Association (PTPA) said it was the association of tennis association (ATP), the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), the International Tennis Federation (ITF), and the ITIA in a series of procedures in the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union. PTPA was created by Djokovic and Canadian Vase Postisil in 2020. About 20 players were named as part of at least one procedure.
PTPA statement said: “The lawsuits are presented to the systematic abuse, anti -competition practices, and a blatant disregard for the welfare of the player that lasted for decades.” “ATP, WTA, ITF and ITIA work as a slander by carrying out a number of anti -intertwined competition and abusive practices.”
“Tennis is broken,” said Ahmed Nassar, CEO of PTPA. “Behind the charming crust promoted by the defendants, the players besieged in an unfair system that exploits their talents, leads to the suppression of their profits, and weakens their health and safety at risk.”
The statement included in the alleged violations they target.
She said that the defendants “colluded”, “reforming the prize money and suppressing the profits of the players”, which compels a “non -sustainable schedule” and exploit the players financially.
The bodies show “ignore the players” by making them “compete at the temperature of 100 degrees (Fahrenheit), carry the matches that ended at 3 am, and play with the various tennis balls that stimulate injuries.”
PTPA also cited the correct ownership of the image, care restrictions and “Draconian Classification Points”.
The statement also complained that tennis violated the player’s “privacy rights”.
“The players are undergoing invasive research operations for personal devices, random drug tests in the middle of the night and interrogation without legal representation,” he said.
In addition to Djokovic and pospisil, the Executive Council of PTPA consisting of seven players, Hubert Horkakz, Ons Gabor, Bethani Mattiki Sands, Taylor Townsen and Saysai Cheng.
Australian Nick Kirgius and Farvara Grachiva joined France and American Riley Obelka on the PTPA case in the United States, while French Corintens Mott and Taro Daniel joined the issue in the UK.
