Novak Djokovic keeps his unbeaten streak in 2020 alive as he survives terrible start to defeat Milos Raonic in final of the Western & Southern Open
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and other members of the ATP Player Council have spoken out on Saturday against a plan put forth by top-ranked Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil to start a union of sorts for men’s tennis -- bringing the sport’s politics into the spotlight just before the US Open.
Djokovic and Pospisil are seeking support for the formation of what they’re calling the Professional Tennis Players Association; they would be the co-presidents. Unlike athletes in major North American team sports, tennis players never have had a union to represent them and collectively bargain with ownership about revenue sharing and other matters. Each tennis player is an independent contractor.
