Simply to unify the players, have our voices heard and have an impact on decisions being made that [affect] our lives and livelihoods".But Djokovic's move to form a separate players association seemed to have brought together the governing bodies, who called for unity at a time when tennis has been ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.
