Marcos Baghdatis, former finalist of the Australian Open and #8 in the world, gives a tremendous critique of the current generations and their constant complaints about the length of the calendar.
PTPA
Several months ago, the PTPA sparked a real earthquake in world tennis by filing a historic lawsuit that accused ATP and WTA. Many players signed a legal document accusing ATP and WTA of limiting market opportunities and using the tennis ecosystem as a monopoly: it was striking, however, that the Grand Slams were not included in that lawsuit. Well, two months later, the Grand Slams are now listed as accused in the lawsuit, joining ATP and WTA and further enlarging the scope of the accusation. Only time will tell what all of this will result in.

Emma Raducanu joins the list of players who were unaware of the statement issued by the PTPA denouncing the higher echelons of tennis (ATP, WTA, ITF, ITIA). The British player stated, "I actually have no idea what's going on because I haven't really been on Instagram or my phone." She also took the opportunity to confess what she would change in tennis: "Certain matches could start a little earlier instead of starting so late, which happens often. I also don't like the constant ball changes. It's difficult for me because I've had wrist issues, and heavy balls don't necessarily help with that."

The latest complaints from the Serbian regarding the schedule and the inaction of many players have prompted Andy's response, who still does not fully trust the PTPA to represent the players.
It doesn't look like the situation between PTPA and ATP is going to be resolved quickly. In fact, every day new information emerges about how tense the situation is between both institutions. Today, for instance, journalist Simon Briggs has revealed in The Telegraph the existence of a second lawsuit by PTPA that could shake up the men's locker room once again. As reported by the journalist, the association founded by Novak Djokovic alleges that ATP might be pressuring players to sign certain documents disavowing the collective lawsuit filed last Tuesday. A pivotal moment in this showdown where behind-the-scenes maneuvers can be crucial.

The major current topic in the tennis world, such as the lawsuit filed by the PTPA against all the governing institutions of global tennis, continues to be a talking point. After reaching the third round of the Miami Open 2025, Iga Swiatek was asked about this issue at a press conference. "I don't have an opinion because I wasn't involved in any way, no one asked me anything, so I found out like all of you, through the press. I have openly expressed that competing for 11 months a year is insane, completely unnecessary, and that the season should be shorter," she stated.

We explain what this demand by the PTPA could lead to, which could ironically cause the opposite of what they are asking for.
The 'Sinner Case' continues to make waves in the tennis world. The agreement reached by the number one with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for a three-month suspension due to his positive test for Clostebol has sparked numerous reactions. The latest comes from the CEO of the PTPA (the player union created by Djokovic in 2020, which has just reported the high ranks of tennis), Ahmad Nassar. "I have been consistent and clear regarding Jannik's case. He was treated unfairly by an uncontrolled, illegal, and inappropriate anti-doping program. At the same time, others have noted that he seems to have been treated less unfairly than many other players. The solution is not to treat him with more unfairness, like other players, or even to treat other players with the same unfairness as Jannik."
"Our solution is to treat all players fairly. If someone is not at fault, as determined by the ITIA and WADA, how is it possible that the case took almost a year to resolve, resulting in a three-month suspension that is still being served? The system is not working and must change," stated the leader in an interview with Ubitennis.

The man from Murcia was surprised because the document included one of his statements from a press conference, expressing his disagreement with many of the important points to be discussed.
Following the earthquake that occurred yesterday in the tennis world with the PTPA's complaint (players' union created by Djokovic in 2020) against the main tennis authorities (ATP, WTA, ITF, ITIA), one of the main leaders of this demand, Nick Kyrgios, spoke about it upon his arrival at the Miami Open 2025. "We do this for the future of tennis. I know that many players and I, ourselves, are not happy with how tennis is going at the moment. I believe it is a very special moment and things need to change," stated the Australian.
