Share this contentPARIS: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were on a collision course with Novak Djokovic on Saturday , calling for"unity, not separation" after their long-time rival superstar was expected to spearhead a breakaway union of professional tennis players.
The New York Times claimed that world number one Djokovic is expected to announce his resignation from the presidency of the ATP players' council and help form the PTPA .The PTPA believes it is better-placed to defend the players of the world top 500 who have been badly affected by the coronavirus."The world is living a difficult and complicated situation. I personally believe these are times to be calm and work all of us together in the same direction.
Djokovic is currently in New York where he was playing in the final of the relocated Cincinnati event on Saturday. He is the overwhelming favourite for a fourth US Open title when the Grand Slam tournament starts on Monday. However, defending champion Nadal is absent after opting not to travel to the US for health reasons while five-time US Open winner Federer has already written off his season to recover from knee surgery.
