Melbourne (AP) – The tennis players union PTPA has assured its president and co-founder Novak Djokovic support. The 34-year-old world number one is doing well, according to a message from the committee.
Djokovic asked to share “the facts about his determination” in his words and at a self-determined time. The Serb founded the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) together with the Canadian Vasek Pospisil in August 2020 to compete with the existing players’ council of the men’s organization ATP.
“With the greatest respect for all personal opinions on vaccinations, vaccinated and unvaccinated (with a medical exemption) athletes should be given the same freedom to participate in tournaments,” the players’ union said.
