- On Jan 4, Novak Djokovic said he would step away completely from the Professional Tennis Players Association, citing concerns about transparency, governance and his representation.

- Novak Djokovic, 24-time Grand Slam champion, previously said, `I am proud of the vision that Vasek and I shared when founding the PTPA, giving players a stronger, independent voice`.

- Djokovic said he will now prioritise his tennis, family and contributing to the sport with integrity, while the PTPA aims to negotiate collective bargaining agreements and increase player earnings access.
