Overview
- Djokovic announced on Sunday via X that he is leaving the Professional Tennis Players Association effective immediately.
- He cited persistent concerns over transparency, governance, and the representation of his voice and image, saying his values no longer align with the group’s direction.
- Djokovic co-founded the PTPA in 2020 with Vasek Pospisil and had served on its executive committee; Diego Schwartzman is listed on the committee and Ahmad Nassar serves as executive director.
- In 2025 the PTPA filed lawsuits against the ATP, WTA, ITF and ITIA alleging monopolistic practices and systemic harm to players after consultations it said involved more than 250 players.
- Following those filings, the ATP criticized the PTPA’s approach as divisive, and no immediate response from the association to Djokovic’s exit was reported on Sunday.
