No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic and former top-30 player Vasek Pospisil are co-founding a new organization designed to represent men's professional tennis players. The group would serve as an alternative voice for player interests within the ATP tour structure.
Who is involved in the new player group?
Djokovic and Pospisil will serve as co-presidents of the proposed organization. Pospisil, a Canadian player with prior experience in top-30 rankings, brings player-side perspective to the venture alongside the world No. 1.
Why this matters for professional tennis
Player representation groups shape tour scheduling, prize money distribution, and governance decisions. A new player-led organization could signal tension with existing ATP structures or reflect evolving priorities among top competitors regarding how the men's professional circuit operates.
