La PTPA fa causa al Roland Garros e a Wimbledon per il diniego degli accrediti

La Professional Tennis Players Association ha depositato una mozione presso un tribunale federale per richiedere gli accrediti per il proprio personale per coprire il Roland Garros e Wimbledon. Entrambi i tornei avevano precedentemente respinto le richieste nel contesto di una causa legale in corso. L'iniziativa segna una nuova escalation nella disputa tra i giocatori e gli organizzatori dei tornei del Grande Slam.

La Professional Tennis Players Association ha depositato la propria mozione mercoledì presso il tribunale del Southern District di New York. Il gruppo, co-fondato da Novak Djokovic nel 2020, ha chiesto a un giudice di ordinare alla Federazione Francese di Tennis e all'All England Lawn Tennis Club di concedere l'accesso ai propri rappresentanti. Entrambi i tornei avevano respinto le richieste, citando il contenzioso in corso come motivo della loro decisione.
