A professional tennis player was arrested early Wednesday morning for refusing to leave his South Beach hotel room after several noise complaints, police said.

Bernard Tomic, 22, faces charges of trespassing and resisting arrest without violence.

Tomic, who is ranked No. 25 in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals, won the 2008 Australian Open and the 2009 U.S. Open. He also advanced to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2011.
(We'll conveniently leave off the JUNIOR part. :snicker)

At least he stayed in character by causing a racquet. He looks like the Kyle character from that Neighbours soap.

So...which Aussie do you like? The Dick, the Prick or the Kokk?

A thousand apologies but I just could not resist. :shy:

Good one. :clap

Well, everyone has an opinion about them. That's good for the game I guess. The game needed a 'bad boy' imo, and thanks to the dick and the prick we now have two. In order to promote themselves to 'tortured genius' status they have to start winning stuff or at least be in the mix though.

This was me, too. I thought he was a victim of a terrible dad. And I thought he'd gotten taken up by the short hairs, with the Australian youngsters coming up. Instead, he still acts like a rock star, with no rock star credentials. I have a hard time believing that he'll ever make good on his potential. And he can't blame his dad anymore. He's grown up enough to be his own man. And that man is apparently still a jerk. Pretty sad.
