Overview

• The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) filed lawsuits in the US, UK, and EU, alleging anticompetitive practices by tennis' governing bodies.
• The lawsuits claim players face suppressed earnings, unsustainable schedules, and invasive practices, including excessive drug testing and privacy violations.
• The PTPA seeks structural reforms such as increased revenue sharing, better player representation, and changes to ranking and sponsorship systems.
• The ATP and WTA have dismissed the lawsuits as baseless, emphasizing their commitment to player welfare and financial stability.
• The legal battle, involving support from over 250 players, could lead to significant changes in professional tennis governance.
