New York: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and other members of the ATP Player Council spoke out against a plan put forth by top-ranked Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil to start a men’s-only union of sorts for tennis — bringing the sport’s politics into the spotlight just before the U.S. Open. Also against the proposal: the ATP men’s tour and the sport’s other governing bodies, including the WTA women’s tour and the four Grand Slam tournaments. “It is a time for even greater collaboration, not division,” they said.
After a meeting Saturday night, Pospisil tweeted out a picture showing a group of male players standing on a U.S. Open court and wrote “we are excited to announce the beginning of the the Professional Tennis Players Association.” (Agencies)
