Andy Roddick explains why he ‘agrees’ with parts of Novak Djokovic-backed PTPA’s legal action
Andy Roddick gave his verdict on the Professional Tennis Players Association’s (PTPA) class-action lawsuit against ATP, WTA, ITF, and the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). The PTPA, founded by Novak Djokovic along with Canada’s Vasek Pospisil, raised many issues that they believe tennis players are struggling with.
One of them was the “unsustainable” schedule. The ATP tournaments are spread across 11 months and the top players have not shied away from admitting that they are struggling to produce consistent performance because of not having enough time to rest and recover. The players have also lamented the lack of time between tournaments.
