Tennis Players Take a Stand: PTPA Lawsuits Expose Systemic Abuse by Governing Bodies

The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), backed by over 250 top men’s and women’s players—including a majority of the Top 20—launched a series of lawsuits against the sport’s governing bodies: the ATP, WTA, ITF, and ITIA. Filed in the U.S., UK, and EU with the support of renowned law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, these legal actions pull back the curtain on decades of alleged systemic abuse, anti-competitive practices, and exploitation that have left players overworked, underpaid, and silenced.
