Even John Tomic is reportedly ashamed of his son Bernard’s Wimbledon performance.
Tomic has lost his racquet sponsor and been fined $US15,000 ($A19,700) for saying he was “a little bit bored” during his 6-4 6-3 6-4 loss to Mischa Zverev and that he no longer respected tennis enough or cared how he fared at the grand slams.
The 24-year-old Tomic — who feigned injury to take a strategic medical time-out during his first-round exit — has been roundly condemned for his conduct and now even his father and former long-time coach has called out his behaviour.
