Giant Opelka defends Djokovic: “He cares about our sport”

Since its recent creation, the Professional Tennis Players Association, the new players' union headed by Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospisil, is generating a lot of polarization. Some like Nadal or Federer have already publicly disapproved of the body, but there are also voices in favor.

One of the last to speak has been Reilly Opelka. The 23-year-old American giant believes it is “a great move.” “It's frustrating to see a guy like Novak get bad press for things that aren't true. He's a really nice guy. He doesn't need to bother to come talk to me after a game and ask about my knee, but he does. No it is common “adds the one from Michigan.

Opelka believes that this project, which aims to ensure the rights and benefits of the top 500 in the singles ranking and the top 200 in the doubles ranking, shows that Djokovic “He cares about this sport”: “He has the younger generations and women very present. He loves tennis.”
