Novak Djokovic drawn into tennis politics

If 2018 was a tumultuous year behind the scenes then there is every indication this season could top it, with most of the drama currently centred on the ATP. As head of the ATP Player Council and world number one, Djokovic is a powerful figure within the game and one who has strong views on the way the sport should be run. The players have three representatives on the main ATP board, one of whom, American former player and coach Justin Gimelstob, is awaiting trial on charges of assault, which he denies. “Obviously, that’s an ongoing process and trial. Those are all allegations at the moment. If he is not proven guilty, he stays innocent, or he’s proven guilty, that’s a completely different situation for us and we have to address it. The issue was discussed at a player council meeting on Saturday, but Djokovic refused to disclose the council’s intentions, saying: “The decision hasn’t been made on the president. He’s still president. Djokovic said: “We’re satisfied with what has been happening with the slams in general, particularly the Australian Open, not just prize money but just the facilities, all the improvements we get to see and experience. “We continue to talk to the grand slams.
