“Lleyton Hewitt: ”He has threatened both me and my family””
“Tell about the relationship with the tennis star Bernard Tomic”
“They have been at loggerheads for several years.”
“Now,” says the australian tennislegendaren Lleyton Hewitt, the former lagkompisen Bernard Tomic should have tried to extort him and made physical threats against him.”
“In a year and a half, he has threatened both me and my family,” says Hewitt for the BBC.”
“Bernard Tomic, 26, ranked number 88 in the world.”
“on Monday, he was knocked out of the Australian Open’s first round of the kroaten Marin Čilić.”
“After the match began Tomic – who have not represented Australia in the landslagssammanhang since 2016 – to criticise the country’s Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt, 37.”
“He claimed that there was a ”conflict of interest” in Hewitt: team selection and some players – who also received wild cards to the Australian Open – just been accepted on the basis that they are represented by an agency owned by Hewitt. He is now demanding that Lleyton Hewitt kicked from his job.”
“”Continues to make the same mistakes””
” It’s what we’ve come to expect of ”Bernie”. No matter what the grand slam competition it is so struck, he is always out in the young and starts to talk about something else, ” says Hewitt in a press conference, according to the BBC.”
“The former world number one – who won the US Open and Wimbledon and retired from the singles game in 2016, but still playing the double explains that he and Tomic have been at loggerheads for a couple of years and that they no longer have any contact.”
“– When I first began to mentor him (after singelkarriären) I spent a lot of time with him and coached him for that he would succeed. But he continues to make the same mistakes.”
“at the same time, says Hewitt that Tomic has threatened him.”
” Where he went over the limit, I have not talked with him since then. In a year and a half, he has threatened both me and my family. I don’t think anyone would hear of a person who made such stuff against one, ” he says.”
“BBC: What is there about for the type of threat?”
” the Physical threats, and utpressningsförsök.”
“last Monday, Tomic asked if he felt that he and Hewitt are enemies.”
” No, not at all. I have always wanted to play Davis Cup. I love the tournament. If I do not play so I don’t play. It is all I have to say, he replied.”
