Tennis: Disgruntled players form association

The Indian Tennis Players Association says that it would function around the ATP model.

MUMBAI: Top Indian players formed an association yesterday to protect their professional interests days after signing a temporary truce with the All India Tennis Association (AITA). The Indian Tennis Players Association (ITPA) said in a statement that it would function around the ATP model and act as a platform to represent the concerns of its members. “We believe that the ITPA will provide the players a voice that will stand united in our concerns and suggestions for the improvement of the sport in the country,” Somdev Devvarman, India’s frontline singles player, said in the statement.
