Tomic.

Off day? Did you see the interview? He gave us all the middle finger salute, basically calling us losers who will never have the material things he can afford.
He showed absolutely no gratitude for the $4,000,000 odd, that we mere taxpayers have contributed to his training.

Ian, I agree with everything you say. Both the brats are a disgrace and I always cheer when they get beat. All I can say to Tomic after his recent infantile outburst is
"tell somebody who cares and go away"

Not defending this bloke in any way shape or form , i feel the same way as you . My point was ( though badly put ) was that some people get on their pedestal demand what they sometimes don,t do them selves .

But the major upset i feel is these brats do it for the whole world to see (TV) and are not shy about it:bat:
When i have had a bad day what one or two people might see it or i go home and sulk [bigwhistle]
These people are a ambassador and should act accordingly not spit the dummy publicly consistently acting like spoilt brats:rulez:

Personally I think he's only doing it for the attention, he's got plenty of money so he couldn't care less about the game, he still gets payed 1000s of dollars and sponsership loyalties, he doesn't need to play well.

For me when I played sport, if you have a bad day you suck it up all I wanted to do is win and I wasn't being paid, well I did get $95 and 2 trophies for coming 3rd in a B.E.A.R.S motorcycle series, I was over the moon, even though I must have spent $1500 to $2000 to do the series:MileStone:

The guys a ****, plain and simple and doesn't realise the opportunity he has been given with the talent he has, he needs to grow up, bloody sook.

However, in the interview, Tomic was clearly not in a good place, I know all the stupid stuff He's done, but I can also remember on the very rare occasions He has played well (albeit a long time ago!}, how good He was.
I'm not making any excuses for him, his problems are of his own making, but to open up like He did, just shows where He's now at, so yes, I do feel sad for him, as I would for most (not his father) people who feel like this about themselves.

I'm pretty sure there is no need to use a capital H. Although I'm sure he thinks of himself as God.

It's obvious Tennis Australia have no standards of behaviour, which in my opinion reflects badly on them.:thumbsdown:

Anyway, I thought that a $20K penalty basically for just being honest, was unfair. And that's what I think He was doing really, ...just "letting it all come out". He wasn't being derogatory, rude or anything, just having a go at himself really
Obviously not a wise thing to do, but I notice several other top line players including Novak understood where He was coming from.
I hope He finds himself & realizes his potential.

Pickles, the fine was not for "being honest" in the interview it was for faking the medical time out he took during the game.

Personally, I have no problem with him saying what he did. If that's the way he feels then, fine, but for him to continue on in the sport from this point is not on. Whether he likes it or not, he has responsibilities that go beyond servicing his own wants.

If he continues with out committing 100% to every game, win or lose, he will just be a fraud. Ultimately, it will sort itself out as he will drop in the rankings and will no longer get the invitation to play.

Interesting to have seen the astonishment expressed by a young up-and-comer when asked about it - they said they'd give anything to have the opportunity he has.

Him and his mate need to rack off, they are an embarrassment to our country.

The women of the game on the other hand are fantastic ambassadors!
