ABC  

Novak Djokovic has resigned as head of the Association of Tennis Professional's Player Council, but his plans for a new representative organisation for athletes have already encountered some stiff resistance. Key points: Novak Djokovic's breakaway group aims to "unify the players" and have an influence on decision-making But his fellow top players Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have called for a united front Djokovic's move has brought together the tennis governing bodies World number one Djokovic, Canadian Vasek Pospisil and top-ranked American John Isner all resigned from the council after they were formally requested to step down by other members. But Djokovic's move to form a separate players association seemed to have brought together the governing bodies, who called for unity at a time when tennis has been ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. "We recognise the challenges that our members face in today's circumstances, however, we strongly believe that now is a time for unity, rather than internal division," an ATP statement said. Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, who make up the 'Big Three' of men's tennis along with Djokovic, are also part of the council but have opted out of playing this year's US Open.
