The latest volley in pro tennis’s civil war was fired in federal court Monday night.
Two different entities are claiming control over the Professional Tennis Players Association—the player advocacy group backed by billionaire Bill Ackman—and its commercial arm, Winners Alliance.
The newest suit was filed by an entity that calls itself the real PTPA against Wajid Mir.
Depending on what side of the lawsuit one is on, Mir is either the current PTPA general counsel and interim executive director, or the terminated top legal adviser. The litigations are engulfing the organization and possibly its antitrust lawsuit against five of tennis’s governing bodies.
Mir did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
