World No 1 founded group to give players greater voiceDjokovic begins bid for sixth
Wimbledon title on MondayIn time, the Professional
Tennis Players Association (PTPA) – the new body
Novak Djokovic hopes will give players more representation and a greater voice – may well become a genuine force. But if the world No 1, who on Monday begins his quest for a sixth Wimbledon title and a record-equalling 20th grand slam title, was hoping Friday’s PTPA press conference would be the talk of the town at the All
England Club, it seems not.
Djokovic, who, with the Canadian player Vasek Pospisil, a doubles champion in 2014 at Wimbledon and ranked No 66 in the singles, cofounded the PTPA at the
US Open last year, said he had spoken to
Serena Williams about it and that many
Women players had committed their support to the organisation.
