If he really thinks this will work, he’s insane! How Roger Federer’s Resistance to Novak Djokovic’s Massive Rebellion Was Met with Criticism by the ATP Tour

The long-running debate about higher ATP player salaries nearly took a negative turn in January 2018, and Novak Djokovic was greatly impacted by the fallout. Over 150 players apparently supported Djokovic’s call for a strike; however, some celebrities, including Roger Federer, were against the idea.Around 150 elite players and the sport’s officials convened under the direction of Djokovic, who was then the president of the ATP Player Council. It was held just a few days prior to the 2018 Australian Open, and an acceptable resolution was not achieved. To make way for player-only conversations, the referees were requested to leave the room early.
In a speech to his peers, Novak Djokovic allegedly demanded the creation of a rebel organization and a boycott of the 2019 Australian Open. The Serb wanted to raise the total amount of prize money available to players, according to The Guardian. He did, however, also wish to break the custom of Grand Slams awarding men and women with equal prize money. Andy Murray was vehemently against this.

Roger Federer supported Djokovic’s proposal that prize money be raised, particularly for players with lower rankings. He was adamantly opposed to taking drastic measures like going on strike or accusing the administration directly, though. One official called Djokovic crazy and told The Guardian that any discussion of a boycott is absurd.These players’ primary worry was that professionals who fall below a particular threshold, typically those who are ranked outside of the top 100–120, do not get enough money. Novak Djokovic wanted to rectify that by increasing the total prize money. A few years later, he would go on to found the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA).
One of the primary goals of the new organization is to make tennis affordable and accessible for players with lower rankings. The way the ATP oversees players and events is another problem the PTPA wants to see resolved. To avoid this conflict of interest, they wish to create a player-only organization.Nonetheless, the ATP continues to regulate men’s tennis activity. As of now, the PTPA lacks direct authority or influence. Nonetheless, Djokovic and his group were crucial in launching the ATP’s baseline initiative. The top player in the world hasn’t let up in his pursuit of giving players more cash.

Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have steadfastly supported the ATP and criticized Djokovic for founding the PTPA. Because of this, a lot of fans have accused the two of acting as the association’s spokespeople and not doing enough to support their fellow players. They have supported higher, even equal, compensation, but not with the same vigor and initiative as Novak Djokovic.
