‘Bored’ Tomic crashes out of Wimbledon and questions own commitment

Bernard Tomic has joined the Australian exodus from the Wimbledon singles draws with an insipid straight-sets loss to German Mischa Zverev and afterwards claimed that winning trophies no longer satisfied him.

The 24-year-old Australian, who reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2011 and the last 16 in 2016, appeared to lose interest after dropping the first set and went down 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in just 84 minutes.

But the player – who has been dubbed “Tomic the Tank Engine” in the past for appearing to give up during matches – denied he had quit. However in an extraordinary post-match press conference he conceded that he had completely lost interest in the game.
