Why ATP, WTA and Grand Slam dismissal attempts failed in antitrust suit
Original: Tennis antitrust lawsuit explained: Why ATP, WTA and Grand Slam dismissal attempts failed
A US antitrust lawsuit against tennis's governing bodies is moving forward after judges rejected attempts by the ATP, WTA and the four Grand Slam tournaments to have the case dismissed. The suit, brought by professional players, alleges the organisations unlawfully restrict earnings and control the sport. Its survival is a significant setback for tennis leadership and keeps the dispute over player pay and power alive in court.
Why now: A court ruling letting the players' antitrust case proceed is a major development in the fight over who controls professional tennis.
