  • Summary

    This chapter explores the applicability of competition law, particularly in its EU dimension, to actvities, tournaments, broadcasting and others of the ATP, although the same rules apply mutatis mutandis to the WTA and the ITF. The chapter commences by examining good governance standards in EU law and policy and explores access to the organisational market for rival tennis tours under competition law. In doing so, it examines the legality of blocking rivals from accessing the organisational market, in particular in relation to rules 1.07, 1.14 and 8.05A(2)(e) of the ATP Rulebook. The chapter assesses the compatibility of these rules with EU competition law, especially in relation to recent judgments adopted by the CJEU and whether the restrictions to competition imposed therein are compatible with legitimate objectives and proportionality. The chapter examines whether wild cards are compatible with Article 56 of the TFEU and the freedom to provide services.
