Michael Bennett and Zack Flagel Explore Pro Tennis Antitrust Battle

Foley & Lardner LLP attorneys Michael Bennett and Zack Flagel assess the antitrust litigation entangling professional tennis in their LawInSport article, “Break(ing) Point? The Antitrust Battle that Could Transform Professional Tennis.”

Bennett and Flagel explore the litigation brought by the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) against the sports’ governing bodies in U.S. federal court, analyzing the legal background, basis of PTPA’s claims, and broader trends in antitrust litigation across global sports.

“If the case progresses, a settlement could radically reshape professional tennis, providing players a seat at the table for future decisions,” the authors conclude. “If settlement talks fail, the future of the sport could rest in the hands of a federal judge.”
