🎾 We’re back! After a break, Rock n Roll Tennis returns with a bang—and we’re diving straight into the biggest off-court battle rocking the tennis world.

In this explosive comeback episode, we speak to the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) — the independent organization co-founded by Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil to represent the rights and voices of tennis players around the world.

The PTPA is challenging the status quo of tennis governance, calling out lack of transparency, unfair structures, and limited player input in major decisions. And now? They’ve taken it to the courts—literally—with a high-profile lawsuit against the ATP, WTA, ITF, and International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA)s, alleging anti-competitive behaviour and collusion.

We get into:

• Why the PTPA believes the current system fails the players
• What this legal action could mean for the future of the ATP and WTA Tours
• Whether the PTPA can truly disrupt decades of tradition
• And how this movement is gaining traction among both top-ranked and lower-ranked players

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the politics of professional tennis, player rights, sports law, and the future of the game.

Marshall Happer is this week's guest.

Marshall knows the battles tennis faces better than most.

In 1981, he was selected as the first—and, as it would turn out, only—Administrator for the Men’s Tennis Council (MTC). On December 31, 1989, the MTC ceased operations, marking the end of unified governance for professional men’s tennis, and the beginning of the ATP “as a pure player association.”

He was, in essence, the closest thing men’s tennis has ever had to a commissioner, and likely ever will.

Marshall tells us his story.

Very few have had the influence in the modern day pro game than he.

A fascinating insight.
