https://reurl.cc/K2VEEn With Wimbledon’s main draw starting Monday, a War-of-the-Roses-type power strug gle has erupted within the Professional Tennis Players Association, with one gro up of players and officials suing another group and other executives. 隨著溫布頓網球錦標賽會內賽將於週一開打，職業網球員協會（PTPA）內部爆發了一場宛如「玫瑰戰爭」般的權力鬥爭，一派球員與高層對另一派球員及多位主管提起訴訟，使組織陷入嚴重內鬥 The core allegations include that Winners Alliance, the principal funder of the PTPA since 2023, has milked the players’ group and failed in its economic promi ses. Meanwhile, what the plaintiffs allege is that an illegal board led by forme r executive director Ahmad Nassar has taken control of the group illicitly and o usted employees who were investigating his conduct. Nassar is also charged with violating his fiduciary duty to PTPA because of his executive role with Winners Alliance, while PTPA co-founder Vasek Pospisil is charged with taking payments f rom Winners Alliance that clouded his role with the players group. 訴訟的核心指控包括：自2023年起一直是PTPA主要金主的Winners Alliance，長期利用球員組織牟利，卻未履行當初承諾的財務與商業發展計畫此外原告主張，由前執行董事Ahmad Nassar領導的一個「非法董事會」，透過不合法手段奪取了PTPA的控制權，並將調查其行為的員工趕出組織 Nassar也被控因同時擔任Winners Alliance高階主管，違反了他對PTPA所負有的受託義務，另一方面，PTPA共同創辦人Vasek Pospisil則被指控收受Winners Alliance的款項，使其在代表球員組織時的立場產生利益衝突 The listed plaintiffs in the lawsuit are the PTPA, Saisai Zheng, and Marco Trung elliti. The defendants are Nassar, Pospisil, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Hubert Hurka cz, Ons Jabeur, Winners Alliance, and Romain Rosenberg. Depending on which side you are speaking with, Rosenberg is either the current executive director (argue d by the defendants) or the former executive director who was fired for verbal a buse of a PTPA employee. 本案列名原告包括PTPA、鄭賽賽以及Marco Trungelliti 被告則包括Ahmad Nassar、Vasek Pospisil、Bethanie Mattek-Sands、Hubert Hurkacz、O ns Jabeur、Winners Alliance，以及 Romain Rosenberg 至於Rosenberg的身分，雙方各執一詞：被告主張他仍是PTPA現任執行董事；原告則表示，他其實已因對一名PTPA員工言語辱罵而遭到解職 Winners Alliance, which is backed in part by financier Bill Ackman, agreed to fu nd the PTPA at a minimum of $3 million a year, but promises of a group licensing program that would far exceed that figure never materialized. 獲知名投資人Bill Ackman部分資助的Winners Alliance，原本承諾每年至少向PTPA提供300 萬美元資金，並表示將推動一項團體授權計畫，預期能創造遠高於這筆金額的收益然而這項承諾中的授權計畫始終沒有真正落實 “Rather than maximize the PTPA Rights, Winners Alliance diverted its capital an d attention elsewhere—deploying, upon information and belief, more than $25 mil lion into an unrelated track-and-field venture, and pursuing rights in cricket a nd international basketball—while the Association’s rights languished,” accor ding to the lawsuit. The track and field venture is Grand Slam Track, which is c urrently in Chapter 11. 訴狀指出：「Winners Alliance並未致力於最大化PTPA所擁有的商業權利，反而把資金與資源轉移到其他地方——據了解投入超過2,500萬美元至一項與PTPA無關的田徑事業，同時積極開發板球與國際籃球的商業權利，而PTPA自身的權利卻被長期擱置」文中提到的田徑事業，就是目前已申請《美國破產法》第11章（Chapter 11）破產重整的Gr and Slam Track On June 3, according to the lawsuit, what is described as the “lawful” executi ve committee that included Zheng, Trungelliti, Taylor Townsend, and Arina Rodion ova, voted to sack Rosenberg over allegations of verbal abuse toward PTPA employ ee Anastasia Skavronskaia. And the committee authorized general counsel Wajid Mi r to investigate Nassar. The next day, what the lawsuit terms the “Fake” commi ttee, constituted by the defendants, met and ignored the other committee, and cu t off funds to the plaintiffs and took control of the organization. 根據訴狀，6月3日由鄭賽賽、Marco Trungelliti、Taylor Townsend及Arina Rodionova組成、原告稱為「合法」的執行委員會，投票決議解除Rosenberg的職務，理由是他涉嫌對PTP A員工Anastasia Skavronskaia 進行言語辱罵同時該委員會授權總法律顧問Wajid Mir對Ahmad Nassar展開調查然而隔天，訴狀所稱由被告組成的「假執行委員會」自行召開會議，無視前述委員會的決議，不但切斷了原告一方的資金來源，還接管了整個PTPA “A more transparent and naked attempt to shut down an incriminating probe—by a registered nonprofit nonetheless—and retaliate against any truthseekers would be hard to imagine,” according to the complaint. “And, in the coming weeks, in response to PTPA’s repeated attempts to have its access and agency restored, W inners Alliance, Defendant Nassar, the Fake Executive Committee, and their affil iates dealt from the bottom of the deck, threatening players, issuing completely meritless defamation threats, and issuing false public communications regarding the status of a registered, IRS-reporting nonprofit.” 訴狀寫道：「很難想像還有比這更赤裸、更毫不掩飾的方式，去阻止一項可能揭露不法行為的調查—— 而且這還是一個依法登記的非營利組織——並對所有試圖查明真相的人進行報復」訴狀接著表示：「在接下來幾週，當PTPA一再試圖恢復自身的管理權限與運作能力時，Winners Alliance、被告 Nassar、『假執行委員會』及其相關人士，採取了各種不正當手段，包括威脅球員、提出毫無根據的誹謗恐嚇，以及針對這個依法向美國國稅局（IRS）申報的非營利組織發布不實公開聲明」 The lawsuit asks the court to restore the “lawful” committee, enjoining the de fendants from communicating that they operate the PTPA and forcing them to retur n control to Mir and the plaintiffs, and damages to reflect the money lost to Wi nners Alliance’s failure to market the PTPA. The complaint estimates that the f igure exceeds $45 million. 訴訟要求法院恢復原告所稱的「合法」執行委員會的權力，禁止被告對外宣稱自己代表或經營PTPA，並命令其將組織控制權交還給Wajid Mir與原告一方此外原告也要求賠償因Winners Alliance未能成功推廣PTPA商業權利而造成的經濟損失，訴狀估計損害金額超過4,500萬美元 “The PTPA terminated Mir on June 4, 2026, following serious misconduct,” a sou rce close to the defendants said. “He continues to misrepresent his status…[he ] has no authority to act, speak or negotiate for the PTPA in any respect.” Thi s source said the lawsuit was filed without PTPA authorization and disavows it. 一名接近被告陣營的人士表示：「PTPA已於2026年6月4日，因 Wajid Mir涉及嚴重失職而將他解雇」該人士並稱：「他至今仍持續謊稱自己的身分……他沒有任何權限代表PTPA採取行動、發言或進行任何談判」這名消息人士還表示，這起訴訟並未獲得PTPA正式授權提出，因此PTPA不承認這項訴訟 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.162.23.165 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Tennis/M.1782812164.A.EC4.html
