Bernard Tomic launches into 'disrespectful’ Tennis Australia and ‘actor’ Pat Rafter
The 22-year-old accuses ruling body of neglecting him after he bows out to defending champion Novak Djokovic

Bernard Tomic launched a blistering tirade against Tennis Australia and head of performance Pat Rafter after his third round exit at Wimbledon.
The attack came after former world number one Rafter said he would end funding for players in their 20s and that Tomic’s sister, Sara, would also have her funding cut off because of the uncooperative attitude of their father, John.
Now all of a sudden, they are neglecting me, for some reason. They are not supporting me, not respecting me
Tomic accused Tennis Australia chief executive Craig Tiley and president Steve Healy of neglecting him and Rafter of being an “good actor”.
“Don’t get me wrong,” the 22-year-old said after his loss on Friday to defending champion Novak Djokovic. “A lot of money was invested in me, for sure. But whatever they invested in me, they got in return 10, 20 times more. That’s 100 per cent certain.
“Now all of a sudden, they are neglecting me, for some reason. They are not supporting me, not respecting me.”

“What’s going on? Where is the support? How can you do this?” he asked.
