Former world no. 17 Australian player Tomic said in a recent interview that he is confident of returning to the top and regaining his love and passion for tennis. Due to the lack of participation and the decline in form in recent years, Tomic's world ranking has now fallen to 259.

"I'm going to try to turn things around in the next few years, to give myself another chance to hit the top, and I've got a chance, I'll fight for myself." Tomic said in an interview with Australian media. "So all I have to do now is get my attitude right, do the right thing, give it my all for the next five or six years, get back to the top of the tennis list, and I miss that feeling."

Tomic revealed that he had considered retiring a few years ago and regretted the inappropriate remarks he had made in interviews: "I gave up tennis two and a half years ago, there were too many external factors interfering with me, but I am bored with these things now." 」 I had so much success at too young, and everything happened too quickly. Flying around the world to weekly tournaments, I'm starting to get tired by the age of 25, saying stupid things in interviews. I said too many things I shouldn't have said and done too many things I shouldn't have done, but things have already happened. ”

Tomic said his passion for tennis was once again fuelled by winning four consecutive games at the Australian Open last year, including qualifying: "I may be ready to retire before last year's Australian Open, I don't need money anymore, but when I started winning more matches, I felt a fire rekindled in my body. ”

Tomic, 29, is currently actively recovering from a finger injury and has hired a fitness coach. He also shared his boxing and physical training on social media.

"I've suffered so much disgust in my career, but I can't give up. Do you think I can't see those negative remarks? These remarks can hurt me as well. In the past these remarks would have caused my dissatisfaction, I would have allowed my emotions to do stupid things, but now I will use these negative remarks as my motivation, I am eager to win, I am ready, no one can stop me, except myself. I'm training now, I'm going to do whatever will get me back to the top, and I'm sure my hard work will pay off. ”
