As Jannik Sinner wonders whether he could still be banned for failing two doping tests, a players' association is asking the Grand Slams and two main tours to pay for a legal defence fund for athletes.
The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) was created in 2019 and aims to increase player power within the sport.
It believes the four majors, the men's ATP Tour and women's WTA Tour should fund access to third-party lawyers, so financial resources are not a barrier to a speedy and authoritative defence.
It would - they argue - make the system fairer for all players regardless of their ranking.
