Bernard Tomic’s tantrum over $20

“I know there’s no excuse for my behaviour… There seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding”

Aussie tennis player Bernard Tomic has apologised after clashing with security and staff at a Gold Coast resort – all because he had to pay a $20 court hire fee.

A RACV Royal Pines resort member revealed that Tomic told recreational players to leave a practice court and then baulked at paying the $20 court hire fee, news.com.au reports.

However, he has since apologised saying, “I’ve been so focused on preparing for all my matches, I know there’s no excuse for my behaviour. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble and I apologise to the club members.”

“There seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding and my practice was interrupted and I got a bit frustrated.”
