Australia, 13 October 2020 | tennis.com.au
Australian John Millman has been elected to the ATP Player Council.
The 31-year-old from Brisbane was announced as a new member today, alongside British former world No.1 Andy Murray, Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime and France’s Jeremy Chardy.
They replace world No.1 Novak Djokovic, Canadian Vasek Pospisil and Americans John Isner and Sam Querrey who all resigned in August after the formation of a Professional Tennis Players Association.
The No.44-ranked Millman spoke to Todd Woodbridge earlier this year about his passion for shaping the future of the sport.
“It’s something I am very interested in, the governance of the game,” Millman said. “I like the business administration side, it’s something that’s always kept me interested and engaged.”
South African and two-time Grand Slam finalist Kevin Anderson heads the 12-member ATP Player Council, which also includes 20-time Grand Slam champions Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
