Novak Djokovic led PTPAs transparency making players lose trust over ATP reveals Player Council m

Publish date: 2024-07-23

Bernabé Zapata, a member of the ATP council, has spoken out about the Novak Djokovic-led Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), stating that it is more transparent than the ATP. Zapata said that he understands why some players are looking for other ways to improve the circuit, such as the PTPA, due to the ATP’s lack of transparency with the players. He noted that while he respects the PTPA, the division it creates among players is not positive for the sport.

The ATP council member also spoke about the need for unity within the ATP, especially with the ongoing talks between the ATP and the PTPA. He emphasized that all parties need to work together to eliminate divisions and reach common goals, including improved performance and reaching Grand Slams.

Bernabe Zapata‘s comments reflect the ongoing tension within the ATP as players navigate their relationships with both the ATP and the PTPA. While some players see the PTPA as a necessary step towards improving the circuit, others worry about the potential for further divisions within the sport.

Zapata Miralles: “In a sense, I understand Novak Djokovic's project with PTPA. For years, ATP hasn’t been transparent, so I understand that some players don’t trust & look for other ways to improve the circuit. I don't know if it's better or worse, but it's clearly divisive.” pic.twitter.com/5WAfvc0Coe

As the tennis world continues to evolve and change, it remains to be seen how the ATP and the PTPA will work together to shape the future of the sport.
