Overview

• The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) filed lawsuits in the U.S., U.K., and EU, seeking structural reforms and a jury trial.
• The lawsuits allege systemic abuse, anticompetitive practices, and unsafe working conditions within professional tennis governance.
• The PTPA claims players face unsustainable schedules, capped prize money, and invasive privacy violations, including excessive drug testing.
• The ATP and WTA have rejected the claims as 'misguided' and 'without merit,' pledging to defend their governance structures.
• The PTPA reportedly has support from over 250 players, including many top-ranked athletes, and is partially funded by billionaire Bill Ackman.
