Carlos Alcaraz said he doesn’t support legal action Launched by the professional Tennis Association of players (PTPA) against sports visits and guiding bodies earlier this week.
The PTPA, a players’ association co -founded by Novak DjokovicPosed prosecution before the United States district court for the South New York district alleging the “monopolization” of male and female tennis and the “contempt” of the interests of the players.
The large -scale trial covers the money price, the classification system and the calendar, the Investigation process of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA)And Name, image and resemblance (zero) compensationamong other areas.
Twelve players-including the co-founder of the PTPA, Vasek Pospisil and the Wimbledon finalist, Nick Kyrgios, 2022, are appointed plans to the United States complaint, which requires a trial with jury. The group said he was submitting prosecution in New York, as well as in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
“It was surprising for me because no one had told me about it,” journalists at the quarter of the Grand Chelem Alcaraz, by Reuters, said on Wednesday.
“Yesterday, I saw on social networks that they put something that I said at a press conference in the documents and I was not aware of it. Honestly, I do not support this letter because I did not aware of it.”
The PTPA takes measures against the guiding bodies of male and female tennis – ATP and WTA – as well as the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and Itia.
ATP and WTA both expressed their dissatisfaction with the prosecution and said they would defend their “vigorously” positions. ITIA said it was aware of the deposits, while ITF said it would take time to consider an appropriate response.
The PTPA said it was “massively supported” by the 250 best male and women players, including most of the 20 best players on each tour.
However, speaking to the Miami Open, Alcaraz moved away from the trial. “There are things with which I agree with and there are other things with which I do not agree,” said number 3 of the Spanish world. “Anyway, the main thing is that I do not support what has been done.”
Alcaraz, the Miami Open champion in 2022, has his first game of this year’s tournament against David Goffin in Belgium on Friday.
