Novak Djokovic has sought to create some distance between himself and the legal action taken against the ATP and WTA tours by the players’ union he formed, calling on younger players to take a stand.
Djokovic said that there are some things in the lawsuit from the Professional Tennis Players’ Association (PTPA) that he disagrees with and also expressed some discomfort with the language used.
“This is a classic lawsuit, so lawyers to lawyers type of situations,” Djokovic told a press conference at the Miami Open.
“So to be quite frank with you, there are things that I agree with in the lawsuit and there are also things that I don’t agree with.
“I found that maybe some wording was quite strong in there. But I guess the legal team knows what they’re doing and what kind of terminology they’re supposed to use in order to get the right effect,” he added. The record 24-time Grand Slam winner co-founded the PTPA in 2020 with Canadian Vasek Pospisil but noticeably was not among the 20 players named in Tuesday’s legal filing.
