The 29-year-old Australian lost, in the first round of qualifying, to Russian Roman Safiullin 6-1, 6-4 in less than an hour and with obvious signs of feeling ill, such as excessive fatigue. When the second set was 2-1 in favor of the European, Tomic sat in his chair, took off his shirt and surprised everyone.
“I am convinced that I have coronavirus. In three days I will test positive. If it does not happen, I invite you to dinner, and if I test positive, you invite me”, the German native and Oceania-based launched the judge Aline Da Rocha Nocinto during the break.
Tomic was very dissatisfied with the organization of the tournament. In the first instance, he demanded that he be treated during the same game. Then he accused those responsible for the Australian Open for the lack of reliable and effective controls against the coronavirus.
“I can’t believe no one is being tested. They are allowing players to come onto the court with quick tests in the locker room. There are no official PCR tests. Incredible”, shot the Australian, who later posted on his social networks that the doctors recommended that he isolate himself.
