Tomic is fined for faking injury

His comments came right after his "casual play" against the veteran Mischa Zverev which led to his first round exit. He faked back injury during the match. When asked about it, he said that he wasn't bothered by it. It was all mental disrupt. He felt "bored" on the court and winning the cup or losing early doesn't matter to him anymore. 

He also added that he doesn't care if he loses in the fourth round or the first and he will play tennis for ten more years so that he doesn't have to go to work. This first round lose fetched him $35k and he already earned 4 million from the game. 

This comments did not go well with the sporting greats and Hall of Famers.

The former champion and the tennis great Pat Cash confessed that “I don’t think Bernie by a long shot represents everybody, Australian players,” Cash told the BBC. “He can do a lot worse than that to ruin the image that we’ve created. But a lot of ex-players are cringing, Aussies, especially the guys who started this pro circuit. We wouldn’t be here without these guys.”

Australian six-time grand slam doubles champion Rennae Stubbs labeled Tomic’s comments a disgrace. “You’re an embarrassment to yourself, and not only to the sport but to Australian tennis,” Stubbs told the BBC.

The Nine-time Wimbledon winner Martina Navratilova said Tomic should get out of the sport if that’s how he feels. “It’s disrespectful to the sport and disrespectful to the history of the sport. If you can’t get motivated at Wimbledon it’s time to find another job. The spectators paid good money to come here and watch Wimbledon and the guy shows up and doesn’t try, he can’t be bothered. Just stay at home.”
