REUTERS: Former men's world number one tennis player Andy Murray says he is not currently in favour of a breakaway players' group led by Novak Djokovic and has urged fellow athletes to give the governing body more time to tackle their concerns.
The move has provoked resistance from the two most successful players in men's tennis, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, who are also part of the players' council, while the sport's world governing bodies have urged unity.Advertisement"I'm not totally against a player union, player association, but right now there's a couple of things: One is I feel like the current management that are in place should be given some time to implement their vision," he told reporters.
Murray also opposed the PTPA on the grounds that is a body only for male athletes, since he believed a combined entity with women players would send"a much more powerful message".
