"That happened five or six years ago": Tomic bewildered at video of him being beaten up in Australia going viral
Other
Bernard
Tomic addressed the viral video of himself in Australia when he was assaulted
by two men.
The tennis
world has been taken aback by a sad incident unrelated to the US Open courts.
Bernard Tomic, the Australian player known for his playing style and
personality, has become the center of attention following the release of a
shocking video showing a brutal attack by two individuals.
This
regrettable incident took place in Gold Coast, Australia, but has only now been
made known to the public. In the footage, you can see Tomic attempting to
defend himself from the violent attacks carried out by these two individuals.
What's most
surprising is that despite the violence of the assault, Bernard Tomic chose not
to file a formal complaint about what happened. This has kept the details of
the incident secret until the release of this shocking visual material:
“Concerning
footage of what looks to be Bernard Tomic at the bottom of this altercation.
Language warning.”
The
30-year-old tennis player commented on what happened on social media through
his Instagram stories and revealed that these events occurred several years
ago:
"Hello,
hope everyone is doing well, I'm here in Istanbul, Turkey. Flying to the
USA," former world No. 17 said in his Instagram story.
"I
haven't been on Instagram over the last couple of months, so thought I'd jump
over to the video that has been circulating. Heh, it's so funny cause that
happened five or six years ago. So I have no idea why this is all going on now"
he added.
The
Australian tennis player is currently ranked world No. 292 and competed this
week in the round of 16 at the Istanbul Challenger. The Australian has not
played in a main event since the Australian Open 2021, where he was defeated in
the second round by Denis Shapovalov.
