“I think I got it on the flight from Monterrey to Miami. I have all the symptoms. I landed in Miami on Thursday and since Tuesday I feel weak and struggling with breathing,” Bernard Tomic said in an interview he gave last March 12, having participated in a lathe on Mexican lands. That day, the 27-year-old Australian had lied to the Herald Sun newspaper, but no one knew it yet. Meanwhile, he was isolated in Florida, waiting to pass the test to see if he was the first victim of COVID-19 coronavirus within the circuit.
However, at that time several of the players who were present at the contest began to doubt, including Spaniard Pablo Andújar. “I didn’t see him all week and greeted him just the day he lost. Of course I shoated his hand, but I’m fine,” the player said at the time. Thus, with the continuity of time, suspicions began until the news was revealed by Germany’s Andrea Petkovic, who in the last Go Tennis show told that Tomic had lied with his version, but the most troubling thing of all is that he did not know why.” He often talks without thinking. I wrote to him a few days ago and admitted that he had invented it and couldn’t explain the reasons,” Petkovic said of one of the “bad babies” on the ATP circuit, who since 2012 has been fighting with the Australian team, where he even went so far as to say that Lleyton Hewitt abused him when he was a kid.
