La PTPA poursuit Roland-Garros et Wimbledon après le refus d'accréditations

La Professional Tennis Players Association a déposé une requête devant un tribunal fédéral afin d'obtenir des accréditations pour son personnel pour couvrir Roland-Garros et Wimbledon. Les deux tournois avaient précédemment rejeté ces demandes dans le cadre d'un litige en cours. Ce dépôt marque une nouvelle escalade dans le conflit entre les joueurs et les organisateurs des tournois du Grand Chelem.

La Professional Tennis Players Association a déposé sa requête mercredi auprès du tribunal fédéral du district sud de New York. Le groupe, cofondé par Novak Djokovic en 2020, a demandé à un juge d'ordonner à la Fédération Française de Tennis et au All England Lawn Tennis Club d'accorder l'accès à ses représentants. Les deux tournois avaient rejeté les demandes, citant le litige en cours comme motif de leur décision.
