The PTPA is at the center of the news following the legal proceedings it has decided to initiate against global tennis authorities.

Its director, Ahmad Nassar, spoke on the Ubitennis website about this initiative, as well as the case involving world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who was ultimately suspended from the tour for three months for negligence:

"I have always been consistent and clear about Jannik's case. He was treated unfairly by an out-of-control, illegal, and inadequate anti-doping program.

But at the same time, other players have pointed out that he was treated less unfairly than others.

The solution is not to treat him more unfairly, as other players have been. Nor is it to treat players unfairly as Jannik was. Our solution is to treat all players fairly.

If someone is not at fault, how is it possible that the case took almost a year to be resolved and that a three-month suspension is being served as we speak? The system is not working and needs to change."
