The ATP reacted strongly by the claim of a professional tennis players’ Union (PTPA), which stresses the commitment and stability of professional tennis. The PTPA, established by Novak Djokovic, accused other management authorities of ATP and antitrust violations and systemic systematic operations of players. In a large number of jurisdictions, the claims claimed that the players were subjected to unfair conditions, including the obligation and the required tournament schedule.
According to him, ATP stressed the achievements of the player in increasing welfare and financial security. In the last five years, the organization has taken measures such as a premium money formula, independent financial inspections and the main program, which earned the minimum income for the highest level players. These initiatives reflect the selflessness of creating a balanced and transparent environment for both players and tournaments for ATP.
ATP criticized the PTPA’s approach, described as a distribution and counter-consequence. The organization expressed confidence in the management model, which requires equal representation for players and tournaments in the management processes. ATP also confirmed the intention of dismissing PTPAs as indecent and to protect his task.
As the legitimate war opens, ATP, players, tournaments and fans are focused on their mission to develop sports. The organization continues to prefer reforms and initiatives dedicated to a continuous and prosperous future for professional tennis.
It was a statement of ATP.
“Since the beginning of the ATP tour in 1990, ATP played a leading role in the global growth of the professional tennis. In the three decades, the ATP management structure, players and tournaments have equal sounds to the highest level of sports.
In recent years, the players brought transformative changes. The prize money formula has contributed to a great increase in the player’s compensation of the player’s compensation (up to the last five years), which is the award money and new and expanded bonus pools in the record. The introduction of annual, independent inspections in ATP measures, the tournament fully transparency in financial activities. The main program of ATP, the best 250-sorted single player in the professional tennis provides unprecedented financial security provided a minimum guaranteed income.
ATP Challenger increased contribution to the pension pension fund to increase the premium money in tour events.
These improvements were obtained through ATP management structure, each key decision made by the player entrance and selected representatives. Meanwhile, players – like independent contractors – allowing them to compete according to their schedules, and allow them to compete, to compete, train and make money.
Although ATP is aimed at the delivery of reforms that benefit from many levels, PTPA, consistently chose to serial and distract through incorrect information through progress. The establishment of a meaningful role in PTPA and tennis in connection with the launch of five years in 2020 has struggled to establish a meaningful role in order to make a decision on the continues to legal activities in this junction.
We strongly reject the meaning of the PTPA allegations, and we will defend our position completely indecent and defend. ATP remains true to work for the best interests of the game, sustainable growth, financial stability and players, tournaments and fans. “
