His passport? He is Australian.

You know what i mean....

[Johnny Canuck]

Racist!

Somebody call Goodesy.

[chappy1970]

I don't think it's a stretch to say that Tomic is currently Australia's leading sporting BELL End.

Caught a fraction of his after match pressie, he is seriously deluded regarding his comments on Tennis Australia not supporting him financially.

C0ckhead

Hows it racist?

Hows it racist?

Telling someone to go back where they came from isn't generally associated with the acceptance of other races.

Thought it was more about Nationality?
Anyway my point is if he where back in his birthplace of Germany, or his parents nation of Croatia, would he have gotten the support and breaks of their national tennis program, i think not.
Young upstart with a big mouth.
Should be very grateful for the support he's been given and let his raquet not his mouth do the talking.

I fully agree with what you are saying and know that you didn't mean it in a racist sense. Imagine how the comment would be received it he was black though .

Tomic is a class A cockhead.

[Captain Nemo]

He needs to be pulled into line.
Id love to be in the locker room when Rafter walks in after what he said about him!

[Johnny Canuck]

What did he say about Rafter?

[Captain Nemo]

Check fox sports news....

[AndyP]

It doesn't look like there is too much that is negative about Rafter; it is mostly against Craig Tilley.

edit: I still haven't seen the full press conference, just the Fox edit, but he certainly isn't complimentary about Rafter's job. That said, why do so many sports people get jobs without qualifications?

[highballin]

Stosur needs Stevie Williams to carry her tennis bag!

[oldracer]

Both of these tools, Tomic and Nick the dick need a serious reality check, where the F do they get off, both need a good slapping, actually they should have had slaps years ago

I'd rather get flogged than let the ungrateful twat play. Don't care if his dad's the problem or not, he's old enough to start making his own decisions. And I'm sure he's wealthy enough now too. TA should let him pay for his own balls permanently now.

With regards to them dumping support for his sister, is it because maybe there are other better and more deserving players out there?

[AndyP]

Seems like an immature reaction by Tennis Australia to me.

Let's see if Kyrgios pulls out now.

[Daves]

Tomic senior let fly at TA a week or 2 ago, similar line to junior, but at that stage Knob Junior and sister were apparently in reality 2 of the most supported by TA. So Rafter and crew said FU, we don't need players and coaches with this attitude, and pulled their funding. The Davis Cup sacking is also interesting, because in reality Tomic had nominated for an event on the same weekend, and had made it clear he wasn't playing this minor Cup round. Another reason why TA pulled their funding.

[TheNuclearOne]

Good on TA. Playing for your Country used to be a coveted honor and now someone uses it as a political forum for their own greed. If Kyrgios does actually join him he's no better.

[Scifisicko]

How does someone with such fantastic earning potential shoot their own marketability in the head? Clearly there is nobody on team Tomic he can go to and say "Im planning to say this at my press conference...what do you think?" I was sick of him before this, hope he doesnt play Davis cup again or get another penny from TA (and gets flogged every time he goes on court).

[damoocow]

Racist!

This made me laugh - plenty of people consider Goodes a racist.

[damoocow]

Who is the biggest *anker? Tomic or Kyrgios. Kyrgios has certainly stepped up his *ankerness lately.

Another pair of great Aussie sportsmen...

[Daves]

Gasquet likes Kyrgios;

Tomic and Kyrgios should boycott the Australian Open too. Good luck getting as many bums on seats if that happens, Tennis Australia.

[TheNuclearOne]

Let them. You're assuming Kyrgios is actually going to support Tomic. Hasn't happened yet.

[goughy]

I'd love to see it. Won't happen, but would be funny. It's a major, there'll be enough top players to pull a crowd. How much harm can a couple of aussies not there who won't be in the second week anyway do!
