Overview
- Djokovic announced on X that he is stepping away completely from the Professional Tennis Players Association, citing ongoing concerns about transparency, governance, and how his voice and image have been represented.
- He said his values and approach no longer align with the group's direction, despite co-founding the PTPA with Vasek Pospisil to strengthen player representation.
- The PTPA launched lawsuits in March 2025 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union against the ATP, WTA, ITF, and ITIA, alleging monopolistic and abusive practices.
- Coverage notes Djokovic was not listed as a plaintiff and had previously distanced himself from the legal action, and outlets reported no immediate response from the PTPA to his exit.
- Djokovic stated he will focus on his tennis and family, with reports indicating he plans to play Adelaide as preparation for the Australian Open.
