Novak Djokovic is known for being active off the court. The Serbian tennis player decided to leave the PTPA, and his decision caused a lot of reactions.
The tennis players were somewhat resentful of the treatment by the various tennis organizations, hoping that things would change significantly. However, it seems that there was a split within the PTPA, so Novak Djokovic decided to leave the project.
The Serbian tennis player is focused on challenges in his career, and has repeatedly shared how serious his ambitions are at the Australian Open.
Many experts and analysts reacted to Djokovic's decision to leave the PTPA, and John McEnroe was among the first to react. The popular tennis figure pointed out that this decision surprised everyone and probably shows how divided the players are.
'It came practically out of nowhere.
I’m not even sure if it’s a union or an association — and the difference between the two terms is huge and leads to a whole other political debate about the actual impact.
I don’t know exactly which players are involved, or whether it is possible to be a member of ATP and PTPA at the same time. All this additionally shows that the players are not at the table in the way they should be, because they are too divided."- he said.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were surprised
According to him, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were also surprised, and this situation leads to a lot of questions, but also uncertainty. While Novak Djokovic was optimistic until now and hoped that this project would bring positive changes for all players, it
seems that he too has given up on some of his goals and is now focused exclusively on his tennis career.
The situation in the world of tennis is a bit confusing, and in addition, the players complained about the busy schedule, many obligations and things they are not satisfied with. However, things have remained as they are and it seems that nothing significant will change.
