Novak Djokovic Quits PTPA, Citing Transparency and Governance Concerns

His exit follows months of friction over the association's antitrust lawsuit.

Overview

  • Djokovic said on X that he is stepping away completely due to concerns over transparency, governance, and how his voice and image were represented.
  • The PTPA, co-founded with Vasek Pospisil to strengthen player representation, filed an antitrust suit in March 2025 against the ATP, WTA, ITF and ITIA, later adding the four Grand Slam organisers.
  • Djokovic was not a plaintiff in the case and has said he did not agree with all elements of the legal action.
  • In a statement reported by outlets, the PTPA defended its governance as player-led with open communication and said it remains available to address issues, while alleging false claims had circulated.
  • The move comes shortly before the Australian Open, with separate reporting noting Canadian records that the PTPA’s non-profit registration there was dissolved in March 2025 for non-compliance.
