The coronavirus is infesting the upcoming 2022 Australian Open.
At the beginning of the new season, after the men's singles world number one Djokovic was in the air due to the vaccine exemption incident, the impact of the new crown was also reflected in other players at the Australian Open.
This week, local player Tomic officially announced his nucleic acid test positive, which also means that the local rising star has been officially diagnosed with the new crown.
In terms of timing, Tomic most likely contracted during the Australian Open qualifiers a few days ago.
On January 11, in the first round of the Australian Open qualifying round, the Australian lost 1-6, 4-6 to Russian Saffrin, and was eliminated in the first round.
During the game, Tomić kept complaining to the referee that he was very likely to be infected with the new crown virus.
"I'm sure I'm going to test positive for COVID-19 in the next two days, and I tell you, if I don't test positive in three days, I'll invite you to dinner, or you'll have to invite me to dinner." Eventually, he was eliminated.
Born in 1992, Tomic began playing tennis at the age of seven and won the Australian Open Junior Championship in 2008.
In 2011, at the age of 18, Tomic reached the quarter-finals at wimbledon. In 2013, he won his first tour title at the Sydney Open.
In the singles rankings, in November 2016, he came to the 17th place in the world.
Once upon a time, Australians had high expectations for this promising teenager. Helplessly, because of personality reasons, Tomic kept making mistakes on and off the field, almost burying his career.
In 2012, Tomić was punished by police for speeding and resisting arrest. According to the police, the fastest speed was 352 km/ h. Some netizens even joked that this speed can go directly to F1 competitions even if you don't play tennis.
In 2014, Tomic was accused of drug abuse at a party.
In 2015, Tomic made disgruntled remarks about the Australian Tennis Association at Wimbledon and was again rejected by the Davis Cup team in Australia. Also in 2015, Tomic was arrested by Miami police for having an all-night party that interfered with normal order at the hotel.
After a series of bad deeds, Tomic's form on the pitch also began to decline.
On 24 July 2019, Tomic lost 2-6, 1-6, 4-6 to Tsonga in the first round at Wimbledon, the shortest match since 2004.
After the match, Tomic's performance was questioned by the Wimbledon organising committee, arguing that he did not "go all out" in the game, a move that violated the spirit of sportsmanship and punished him for confiscating all of his first-round prize money.
And the entire 2019 season was also a turning point in his career. In the whole year, the Australians only won 7 wins and 15 losses, and there were no champions in the account.
From 2020 to now, Tomic has won only one singles game and has played very few games. Recently, he has not appeared in the public eye again after a long time.
But for the 29-year-old Australian, whose singles ranking has fallen to 257, the POST-95 ATP has little hope of starting over, even if it wants to start over. (Source: Tennis House Author: Wu Li Fun)
