Tomic qualifies for AO. I am actually happy for him.

It's a stretch.

Well, I would not have bet on it.

Stotty, I know you and I feel the same about Bernard. I really like his game. He is truly a gifted tennis player, but his potential has been totally wasted. A shame, I do think he could have actually won a major (maybe Wimbledon) if he had trained and gotten in peak condition. I love his game. To me, an out of shape uninterested Roger. I know this is maybe blasphemy, but that is what I see.

Found this AO 2012 match Tomic vs Fed. Fed was in full flight as usual. Tomic was 17 years old or so. Watching the highlights, one gets the feeling Tomic thought he was the clever one going into this match.

Apparently he worked hard for his victories and showed real application. He got laid into in the presser which he got miffed about. He can't expect much else from the press though. It will be a long road back that's for sure. What a waste of talent he has been thus far.
