PTPA Boss Accused of Harassment, Sexist Conduct in New Lawsuit

Wajid Mir, the former general counsel of the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), has filed a lawsuit against the current and past executive directors of the organization, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty. The six-count lawsuit, filed in Illinois court, also lists the PTPA as a plaintiff. Mir claims he and others were fighting for transparency within the group when he was unlawfully fired by those allegedly covering up their misdeeds.

The lawsuit adds to the ongoing civil war at the tennis players' advocacy group, which has also seen allegations of sexual harassment and sexist conduct.
