Personal life

Tomic was born in Stuttgart, Germany, on 21 October 1992.[3] Tomic's parents, Croatian father John (Ivica) and Bosnian mother Ady (Adisa), left Yugoslavia[4][5][6] several years before his birth.[7] In an interview, Tomic stated that his parents "have a Croatian background".[8][9][10] They were both working in Germany when Tomic was born. The family migrated to Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in 1996 when Tomic was three years old.[11] His younger sister, Sara, is a junior tennis player.[12] His lucky charm is a crucifix, given to him by his Catholic parents.[13] Tomic was educated at Southport State School during his primary school years before taking up a sports schloarship at The Southport School for his high school years.[14]

From mid-2011 to March 2012 Tomic dated Gold Coast model Donay Meijer.[15][16] Tomic dated law student Chelsey Grbcic briefly in early 2013.[17][18] Tomic is a supporter of his local professional Rugby League team, the Gold Coast Titans, who compete in the National Rugby League.[19] He supports the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League.[20]

Junior career

Before Tomic began competing on the ITF junior tour he stated that he would become the number 1 tennis player in the world, win all the Grand Slams and become Australia's youngest Davis Cup player. He also claimed he would achieve these goals by attaining the serve of Goran Ivanišević, the mind of Pete Sampras, the groundstrokes of Roger Federer and the heart of Lleyton Hewitt.[21] In 2004, 2006 and 2007 respectively, Tomic won the 12s, 14s and 16s Orange Bowl titles[22][23] – one of the most prestigious events on the junior tour.

Playing his first singles event on the ITF junior tour in 2006, he qualified for the Sunsmart 18 and Under Canterbury Championships in New Zealand and went on to win the title, defeating Dae-Soung Oh of Korea in the final. His success continued, winning the next three tournaments he played in, giving him a 25 match winning streak. Tomic was able to extend this streak to 26 at the Riad 21 junior tournament in Morocco before falling in the round of 16 to future junior world number 1 and ATP top 80 player Ričardas Berankis.[24]

Tomic gained direct acceptance into his first junior Grand Slam at the 2007 Australian Open junior boys tournament at 14 years of age, the youngest player to ever gain direct entry. He came out victorious in round 1 against the sixth seed Jose-Roberto Velasco.[25] In the second round he was defeated by Kevin Botti 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. In attendance for the match were Australian tennis greats Tony Roche, John Newcombe and Pat Rafter.[26] In his second junior Grand Slam tournament at the 2007 French Open he made his way through qualifying to reach the main draw where he triumphed in the first round. In the second round he would lose to Ričardas Berankis 6-2, 6-3.

Tomic did not win another tournament until August 2007, where he won the Oceania Closed Junior Championships without dropping a set. He was unable to continue his dominance at the Junior US Open, falling in the Round of 16 to future top 15 ATP player Jerzy Janowicz. Following the US Open, Tomic picked up a second title in 2007 by winning the G1 in Kentucky. He would then travel to Italy where he compiled an undefeated record in the Junior Davis Cup and led Australia to a victory in the final against Argentina with teammates Mark Verryth and Alex Sanders.[27] Tomic finished 2007 with a junior world ranking of 23.[28]

Tomic began 2008 by winning Nottinghill, an Australian ITF Junior event in Melbourne without dropping a set. Two days later he started his campaign for the Australian Open Juniors title as the 5th seed. Tomic went on to win defeating the 25th, 11th, 8th and 1st seed before beating 10th seed Tsung-Hua Yang of Taiwan in the final.[29] His win at the age of 15 made him the youngest winner of the Australian Open Junior Boys' Championships in the Open Era.[30]

Four months later, at Roland Garros, Tomic, the number one seed, fell in the quarter finals to Guido Pella of Argentina, losing in two sets. At Wimbledon, Tomic was again the number one seed, but fell in the semi-finals to Henri Kontinen. In a notable quarter final match, Tomic played another rising star, Henrique Cunha of Brazil, and came through victorious in three sets. Tomic also finished runner-up in the Wimbledon Junior Boys' doubles with fellow Australian junior Matt Reid. At the 2008 US Open, Tomic lost in the first round of the boys' singles to qualifier Devin Britton of the United States in three sets, who would go on to lose in the final.

Tomic returned to junior competition at the 2009 French Open where he once again reached the quarter finals in the boy's singles tournament and a month later once again reached the semi finals at Wimbledon. At the 2009 US Open, however, Tomic won the junior grandslam title, defeating Chase Buchanan of the United States. The 2009 US Open was his last junior tournament. Despite winning two junior grand slams Tomic's highest junior ranking was number 2 in the world.

Despite his father never having played tennis, he continues to coach Tomic. In 2015 Tomic will be coached/mentored by Tony Roach while Tomic Snr will now focus on Sara Tomic's career. [86]

Equipment and sponsors

In March 2006 a 13-year-old Tomic signed a six figure deal with sports marketing and management giant IMG.[87] Prior to joining the ITF juniors tour in 2007, Tomic played with Wilson racquets but switched to Head when he debuted on the junior tour. He currently has a sponsorship deal with Nike and has always worn their apparel throughout his career. At the beginning of the 2012 ATP season Tomic signed a deal to use Yonex racquets.[88]

Controversies

In January 2010 The Australian newspaper reported that Tomic's father had threatened to quit Australia and have him play for Croatia. According to the paper, this threat was made during a heated argument between Tomic's father and the Australian Open Tournament Director, Craig Tiley, after Tomic's loss to Marin Čilić.[89]

While competing at the 2012 Miami Masters, Tomic was overheard making a request to the chair umpire for his father to be ejected from the stands. He was heard saying "He's annoying. I know he's my father but he's annoying me. I want him to leave but how's that possible?".[90]

At the 2012 US Open, he lost to Andy Roddick in the second round. During the match, John McEnroe, who was commentating the match, accused Tomic of tanking.[91] During a post-match press conference, after being questioned about his effort, Tomic lashed out at Australian journalist Will Swanton, stating "That's how I play. Do you have a problem with that?". Tomic then asked for the journalist's name and warned him, declaring "I'll remember ya".[92]

In January 2012, he was fined by the police on the Gold Coast three times in one day. Later that day he also ran from the police and locked himself in his house.[93] In November 2012, Tomic pleaded guilty in court to failing to stop for police in his orange BMW M3 and was fined $750, as well as being put on a 12-month good-behaviour bond. Tomic accused a police officer of trying to hit him.[94] He was also found guilty of three other traffic offences committed in January and was fined a further $1000.[95]

On 29 January 2013, Tomic was caught speeding by police when travelling 78 km/h in a 60 km/h zone while driving his Ferrari on the Gold Coast. Tomic had been placed on a 12-month good-behaviour bond prior to the incident and is expected to lose his licence.[96]

In May 2013, Tomic's father and coach, John, attacked his son's hitting partner Thomas Drouet while outside a hotel in Madrid. The attack on Drouet resulted in a broken nose, stitches to a cut above his eye, and bruising to the back of his neck.[97] Drouet later accused Tomic, Sr. of striking Bernard Tomic during a practice session in Monaco.[98] The Association of Tennis Professionals subsequently suspended John Tomic from ATP tournaments indefinitely, and Roland Garros tournament director Gilbert Ysern announced that Tomic Sr. would not be granted accreditation to the 2013 French Open.[99]

In November 2013, Tomic was spotted in the Gold Coast Nightlife Precinct on separate occasions over the two-week period known as Schoolies week. He was photographed receiving a lapdance from two girls while in the SinCity Nightclub. The Australian media subsequently labelled Tomic a "toolie", the tag given to anyone partying on the Gold Coast during Schoolies week that is older than the school-leaving age. Asked afterward if he was a toolie, Tomic replied "No, I'm Bernard Tomic."[100]
