Motion Filed to Dismiss Lawsuit
- On Tuesday, the professional tennis tours along with two additional defendants jointly submitted a request in a New York federal court seeking dismissal of the class-action antitrust lawsuit.
- The lawsuit, filed in March by the Professional Tennis Players Association co-founded by Novak Djokovic, challenges the WTA, ATP, ITF, and ITIA over revenue shares and tennis structure.
- The defendants argue the PTPA lacks standing as it is not a full union, has no members or dues, and that some players disagree with its advocacy, making its role in the lawsuit improper.
- The motion states, "The PTPA is improperly conflating its 'membership' with the population of top players," and separately, the WTA seeks to compel female plaintiffs to binding arbitration.
- The PTPA responded, saying, "There is nothing surprising in their motions," and plans to respond fully while awaiting the judge's decision on the case.
