Djokovic-led move to form players’ body opposed by Federer and Nadal

The Hindu  

The Novak Djokovic-led move to form Professional Tennis Players Association, a breakaway players’ body outside the Association of Tennis Professionals, has set alarm bells ringing. The tremendous public goodwill that Federer and Nadal enjoy vis-a-vis Djokovic seems to have already skewed the debate against the latter, but it would be wrong to brush aside genuine player concerns. The nuanced position Andy Murray took on Saturday was reflective of this when he called on the Grand Slams to increase compensation, and said that he was not totally against a players’ union. Bopanna’s opinion India’s top doubles player Rohan Bopanna, while signing up for the new body, told The Hindu that the players’ voice went unheard, both in the past and during the lockdown.
