Tennis: Djokovic faces ATP

Novak Djokovic is in the bottom four in the ATP Finals for the ninth time. But the world’s number one isn’t just in the headlines these days. After she initially demanded the abolition of five-set games and was nominated to return to the player council, the ATP slammed the door in her face. A newly formulated rule states that it is not allowed to participate in two tennis organizations at the same time. For Djokovic, who has founded his own players ‘union with the PTPA, it is impossible to return to the players’ council.

But that doesn’t suit the Serbs at all. At a press conference, he worries journalists in his home country. «They are political games that take place behind the scenes. Almost nothing is written about it, but it is always said that Novak is a hypocrite, ”says the 33-year-old. “It is not the first time that I get used to it. It strengthens my protective shield and motivates me to do the right thing for tennis and the players. “
