Original: Tennis antitrust lawsuit continues: Judge denies ATP, WTA and Grand Slam motions to dismiss https://www.nytimes.com/athl
A federal judge has denied motions to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit against the ATP, the WTA and the Grand Slam tournaments, meaning the case brought by professional tennis players will proceed. The suit challenges how the sport's governing bodies and the four majors — the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open — run professional tennis, and its continuation is a significant setback for tennis leadership.
Why now: A court ruling allowing the players' antitrust case against tennis's governing bodies to move forward is a major development in an ongoing dispute over control of the sport.
