PTPA stämmer Franska öppna och Wimbledon efter nekad pressackreditering

Svenska

Professional Tennis Players Association har lämnat in en ansökan till federal domstol för att få pressackreditering för sin personal att bevaka Franska öppna och Wimbledon. Båda turneringarna hade tidigare avslagit förfrågningarna med hänvisning till en pågående rättstvist. Inlagan markerar en ny eskalering i konflikten mellan spelarna och Grand Slam-arrangörerna.

Professional Tennis Players Association lämnade in sin ansökan på onsdagen i Southern District of New York. Gruppen, som grundades av Novak Djokovic 2020, bad en domare att ålägga det franska tennisförbundet och All England Lawn Tennis Club att bevilja tillträde för dess representanter. Båda turneringarna hade nekat förfrågningarna och angett den pågående rättstvisten som skäl för sitt beslut.
