AI Summary:
The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) has filed a lawsuit against the sport’s governing bodies. It accuses them of anti-competitive practices and a disregard for player welfare. The PTPA said on Tuesday that after years of good-faith efforts to reform professional tennis, it had been forced to take legal action to end “monopolistic control” of the sport. ATP accused the PTPA of choosing “division and distraction” and having no meaningful role in the sport. The WTA defended its record of growing women’s tennis, describing the lawsuit as “baseless” Nick Kyrgios believes the lawsuit marks a “special moment” and that it was high time players’ voices were heard. PTPA accuses players of paying "artificially low compensation" to professional tennis players. The lawsuit calls the schedule unsustainable, says players are made to play in extreme heat.
