We were all waiting for him to speak up ever since the news broke, since it was revealed that the Serb did not sign his name to that lawsuit filed by the PTPA against the various tennis organizations. Just a day after that upheaval, Novak Djokovic appeared at the Media Day of the Miami Open 2025 to talk about his role in the conflict.

Djokovic speaks out for the first time about the PTPA lawsuit

"I have never been in favor of division in tennis, but I have always fought for better representation, influence, and positioning of the players worldwide in our sport, which I believe is still not where I think it should be and where most players believe it should be, not only in terms of prize money but in terms of many other reasons as well laid out in that document," Djokovic said, as reported by AP.

"I truly hope that all governing bodies, including the PTPA, come together and resolve these issues. This is a classic lawsuit situation, lawyers against lawyers. To be honest, there are things in the lawsuit that I agree with and others with which I don't. I realized that perhaps some expressions were quite strong, but I suppose the legal team knows what they are doing and what kind of terminology they should use to achieve the right effect."

About his tennis level

"Let's say that I am on a quest to find the desired level of tennis. I have not played my best, not even close to my best level in Indian Wells and Doha. After withdrawing in the semifinals in Australia, I have not been able to find that tennis quality I have been searching for," Djokovic asserted, as reported by ATP. "I have been working hard, giving it my all in practice. It will come eventually, I know, and hopefully here. I played very well in Australia; I thought I had a good chance to win the title in Melbourne. It's a shame it ended that way for me."
