The Professional Tennis Players Association filed a motion in federal court seeking credentials for its staff to cover the French Open and Wimbledon. Both tournaments had previously denied the requests amid an ongoing lawsuit. The filing marks a new escalation in the dispute between players and Grand Slam organizers.
The Professional Tennis Players Association filed its motion Wednesday in the Southern District of New York. The group, co-founded by Novak Djokovic in 2020, asked a judge to order the French Tennis Federation and the All England Lawn Tennis Club to grant access for its representatives. Both tournaments had rejected the requests, citing the active litigation as the reason for their decision.
