Without Djokovic: ATP introduces new player council

The world number one had founded the competing PTPA (Professional Tennis Players Association) in the run-up to the US Open and therefore resigned from his position as President of the ATP Players Council. “I definitely don’t want to provoke any conflicts” Novak Djokovic Although Djokovic had been nominated as a candidate again for the election that has now taken place, he had declared his intention not to take part at an early stage. In doing so, he anticipated the ATP, which then decided to only admit players who did not belong to any other comparable organization for membership. Djokovic regretted his decision, which he justified as follows: “I definitely don’t want to provoke any conflicts.” Representatives of the top 50 in the ATP Players Council are Roger Federer (Switzerland), Rafael Nadal (Spain), Felix Auger-Aliassime (Canada) and John Millman (Australia). Places 51 to 100 represent Pablo Andujar (Spain) and Gilles Simon (France). President and Vice President will be elected at the first meeting in early 2021. After Djokovic's resignation, the South African Kevin Anderson initially took over the presidency.
