The biggest fighter of them all, on and of court! 💪👍 Federer and Nadal were in the ATP council for years, and they never did anything (not a single thing!) to help their fellow players who are not ranked in top 100...
They were media puppets. Didn't have the spine to speak up. Novak has seen war and struggle since childhood and is a principled man. He decided to lose the chance to win grand slams and legacy in favour of his stance on the so called vaccine. And rafa sort of threw him under the bus.
Because at the end of the day the players that make the ATP the bulk of their money is the top 100…. Maybe people like you don’t know it going into it but anyone that has tennis skills used that to get a full ride to a college in America. Unless you’re that fucking good that you’re playing in slams and major tournaments at a young age you’re not making it. The ATP, WTA is not made for volume it’s made for quality.
@@taxationistheft7 The ATP, WTA are not made just for American players... The rest of the world does existe, and not all of them function like America... There are quality players in the rest of the world and they just need a little help to become great...
R&R wanted top players to be paid even more but on behalf of those less fortunate. Novak is the one who will make a difference and leave a mark on and out of court
Love this champion ,not only a phenomenal player but also a fair minded and clever guy who looks to the future of the sport he loved dearly with an open mind to ensure its longevity and well-being WELL DONE NOVAK,
After what happened to him in Australia and USA, where nobody of other players supported him, he didn't become bitter but he still wants to help others. Impressive, thank you Novak!
Djokovic cares. He has leadership.Tremendous respect for him. It is time that more tennis lovers realize what a leader he is in the tennis world.He is passionate.
…not just English. Novak is an intellectual not just tennis player…complete person that is dedicated to the growth in every aspect of his persona. Sometimes I think that we are given our sight to blind us!
Novak Djokovic deserves his props he doesn't need to care. Novak is the GOAT yet he is reaching back. He is a multi millionaire but he cares. Prop to Vasek Pospisil too for speaking up for lower ranked players. The tennis players deserve more money.
A true champion and a genuine leader on and off the field. Novak, the world needs more leaders like you who genuinely think about the ones at the bottom, the ones who are helpless and forgotten. God bless you!
If this isn't done already, perhaps demand tournaments and similar organizations that pay to show how the revenue is generated and spent. See if there's wasteful spending as well as checking to see if certain parties are unjustifiably getting paid way more than they need.
He should get back to beating women and sabotaging himself in Slams, his favorite activities, and let the big people that can think of others do their things.
Good to see Novak stepping up and continuing what the great Jack Kramer started so many years ago. Tennis wouldn't exist at all without Players playing for prize money, essentially on their own. Whoever these "governing bodies" are don't contribute SHYT. They weren't around when Jack Kramer stood up to Wimbledon and risked everything in the process, so what in the hell is their significance now that the sport is worth hundreds of millions? Tennis should be entirely organized by and for players because their are no "owners", no guaranteed salaries, no built in staff, not even travel discounts. Federer and Nadal should get behind this to really push things in the direction it needs to go. It'd be nice to see some women step up too considering they can make millions more than most male players because of sponsorships.
I'd love to see a women's PTPA push for female players' collective bargaining within the WTA and have issues that have something to do with their own tour and not simply "whatever the men are getting, never mind what they have to do to get it or what revenue they generate or how competitive their lower rankings are, just pay us the same and give us the same network TV coverage, ideally simul-cast, like at the majors". But I'd be shocked to ever see that happen.
So are the top 20 prepared to take a smaller slice of the money from tournaments so that lower ranked players get more? Remember some national tennis federations don't financially support players that much. The LTA recycles profit from Wimbledon into players but they've not done so very well in the past. Murray was not a product of the LTA system for example. The money is mostly coming from big sponsors.they are only interested in the big names who will attract crowds and TV coverage to increase their public profile. Novak, Rafa, Roger will do most good with their academies helping develop young talent, but getting in is always going to be tough. Unfortunately money is the key to everything. Novak didn't say much other than the players association needs to focus on structure rather than the top guy. It seems he was trying to avoid upsetting anyone, so most likely lots of different views amongst the players. The winnings of the top 10 are vastly higher than the rest and some current top 10 might not stay there for long.
From what understand. In, for example, MBA players and owners share profit equally (each will take 50%). In tennis that is not the case. Players are only getting around %15 if what I hear is correct. Players want to get bigger share of the profit. Is that unreasonable?
Novak voted multiple times for high ranked players to take a pay cut and increase prize money for lower ranked players. He was highly unpopular with the establishment for this, and heavily criticized by the media. When he was ousted as ATP Council president, Federer and Nadal came back to the council and reversed this decision. The players asked that Novak be reinstated to the council, but the council and ATP didn't allow it, citing his involvement in PTPA as the reason.
@goatkovic thank you for that information. Can you cite a reference to the main points? This wouldn't surprise me because Novak has proven to us all that his principles and his moral integrity is such that he's prepared to forfeit major titles rather than be manipulated. I've never met him, but IMHO he's a giant in tennis and as a human being. Rafael and Roger are tennis giants,, but I see no evidence that either of them will stand up for what's right. They are both the darlings of the establishment because they do whatever they are told, and of course, their tennis is amazing, and Roger is the most aesthetically beautiful player we've ever seen. I hope Novak manages to win the US open as a retort to those corrupt ****s who denied him from playing because of a non-existent risk to the public. Hopefully Biden and Fauci will get their just desserts sometime soon if the Americans can get a grip of things.
@@goatkovic Thanks again. Let's hope that the PTPA initiative launched by Novak and Vasek is successful. Interesting video appeared in last 24hrs ruclips.net/video/uvS2TG08xBQ/видео.htmlsi=8S8zfMxIjOvmc3vt Unfortunately elite sport is big business and it gets taken over by people who don't play whose only interest is as ever money, celebrity lifestyles etc
It's a noble cause of course to defend the players but this video is full with emptiness. We learn that the structure of the system is a problem, ok but we do not learn why concretely it is a problem that players do not have enough of a voice and most of all, we do not learn what the current tennis structure needs (title of the video). 3min50 to repeat over and over there is a problem. Would be interesting to know what this organization wants to change and how they envision the future for tennis.
You don't expect the entire strategy to be revealed in 3 minutes and 49 seconds. The purpose of the video is not to explain every detail. The title is "What the current structure needs," and he explained that the current structure is overly complicated and that players don't have enough power.
at the end of the day the players that make the ATP the bulk of their money is the top 100…. Most people that play tennis know going into it if you ever make it to the Pros uou give yourself a couple years and if you haven’t adjusted or clawed up in rankings you leave. Which is why anyone that has tennis skills used that to get a full ride to a college in America. Unless you’re that fucking good that you’re playing in slams and major tournaments at a young age you’re not making it. The ATP, WTA is not made for volume it’s made for quality.
Money money money ....not everybody had parents that invensent and believe in him since young age ...tennis athletes would be so happy if somoene for once paid for their balls/shoes/strings .
No, he want that players are treated with respect and get what they deserve. Tennis is generating billions every year and only TOP100 can make a living from it. System is definitely not right at the moment
In other words : without the players there is no tennis.All these white collar parasites (ATP) have been feeding on them years and years .This has to stop
@@wtcwtc9861 they have higher costs than earnings. If you are ranked outside top100 you are really struggling. Paying for flights for yourself, for whole team, paying for physio, coach, training partner, training facilities. It costs you more than your earnings if you want to have professional team around you that will help you compete against the best ones. And if you get injured for few months you have still great costs but almost no income. Tennis system is a joke. Every grand slam makes over 300-500 millions in profit every year. People in boards and tournaments are earning millions and players outside top100 have nothing from it because they don’t play in that tournament. That’s why players need to have association and stand together to change the system because it is more than enough money in tennis as a sport. Actually tennis is 3rd biggest sport in the world behind soccer and basketball.
The only tennis superstar throwing his considerable weight behind efforts to help lower ranked players on tour.

Very well said. The more players are included in the structure, the better it benefits the players and the sport overall.
This guy speaks English masterfully!

NOVAK for the president of tennis PTPA !
what has to happen for the rich people at the top (non players) to listen?
Pif
They won't
fans to collectively pressure them
If this isn't done already, perhaps demand tournaments and similar organizations that pay to show how the revenue is generated and spent. See if there's wasteful spending as well as checking to see if certain parties are unjustifiably getting paid way more than they need.
He is will continue shaking their boat even after retirement from tennis.
Stay safe always, King 👑
He is very intelligent , very caring.
Like zverev once said Novak has lots of other things or better things to do than thinking about the welfare and concerns of the players
He should get back to beating women and sabotaging himself in Slams, his favorite activities, and let the big people that can think of others do their things.
