The record winner of the Grand Chelem Djokovic co -founded the PTPA in 2020 with Canadian Vasek Pospisil, but he is not among the 12 players as complainants alongside the PTPA.
“In general, I felt like I did not need to sign the letter because I want other intensive players. I was very active in the tennis policy,” said Djokovic during the Miami Open on Thursday.
“This is a classic trial, so lawyers’ lawyers, the type of situation. So, to be quite frank with you, there are things with which I agree in the trial, and then there are also things with which I do not agree.
“And I found that perhaps a wording was strong enough in there, but I suppose that the legal team knows what it does and what type of terminology they are supposed to use to obtain the right effect.”
Djokovic insisted that he did not want to cause a tennis flaw despite his union.
“I have never been a fan and supporter of the division in our sport, but I have always fought for better representation and better influence and the positioning of players in the world in our sport, which, I think, is still not where I think it should be and where most players think it should be,” he added.
“Not only in terms of price, but in terms of many other points that have also been stated in this document.”
The ATP and the WTA Tour defended their record, pointing to the price and the security they offer to players.
On Wednesday, the world’s number three, Carlos Alcaraz, said that he had not supported legal action, in part because it was not informed that it would be quoted in the trial.
