Wasn't it just Tomic's turn to shame the sport? He can't left his buddy Kyrgios have all the fun. As Pat Cash said - somebody needs to take his money away and make him go get a real job in a factory and he'd find that missing "motivation" real quick.

Don't know whether it is mentioned before here.
Tomic's father John Tomic is ashamed of him. If John is ashamed of Tomic that is really a low point, not just because John is his father but because John is a low class guy (recall he punching a coach in the nose and getting barred from entering the arena one year).
“He’s my son, I love him, but I’m ashamed at how he’s approaching his business — it’s not good what he’s doing,” John Tomic told the Herald Sun.

So, I hear today that Tomic has been calling Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt out after Hewitt said that Tomic probably wouldn't play for Australia again...
Tomic's response: "I don't care what Lleyton said. I never lost to him," ...
That's exactly why Tomic should never play for Australia again - his attitude.
Hewitt won two slams and got to world #1. He never beat Tomic? That's because he's a million years older and played in a different era. Tomic is a prick. Prime Hewitt would have killed Tomic on a tennis court.

Britbox, How about a Hewitt vs Tomic winner take all grudge match? And if Tomic wins he gets a permanent role on the Davis Cup team. While it is impressive that he's dominated Hewitt on the ATP level, and I watched there US OPen grandstand five setter, Tomic is just too unreliable to ever be counted on, he's shown talent and moxie but too many, way too many bad losses. I remember his Davis Cup loss to Isner and though he tried hard he failed to get the job done. Tomic has to prove himself as a reliable fighter - or get a heart transplant.

Ha... I'd kind of like it if Hewitt won... but seriously, Rusty is doing great things with Team Australia. He's fostered a great cameraderie with the team. Kyrgios loves it... he loves the Davis Cup meet-ups and looks forward to them. Build a team around an energized Nick rather than sourpuss Tomic... I say... Tomic is toxic.... Bernard Toxic... Look out for team Oz... the boys are coming.

britbox, Australia could even build a Davis Cup dynasty and dominate the competition. Kyrgios is the foundation. Deminaur, Kokkinakis, and Thompson if he can reverse his fortunes, are a singles nightmare for just about every other nation. Peers is a top doubles player but he needs a partner. With how rosy things are looking at the moment, if Australia does not win the Cup this year or next, the blame might have to go on Hewitt's over intensity and possibly distracting presence which could make his players uptight and resentful of the extra pressure his demanding presence provokes. Hewitt wants tow in so bad, more than even his players it seems and that's a combustible combination. I think Hewitt will have to find a way to done it down because most of the Davis Cup captains I can think of took on secondary, subordinate, more casual, laid back roles. It's a very interesting situation for sure.

Somehow I doubt Lleyton Hewitt is losing any sleep over Tomic's trash talking. He should just be glad that Hewitt's not as pugnacious in his old age as he used to be...or else Tomic would find himself swallowing a knuckle sandwich.

I heard Tomic is in some celebrity reality show with a title of "I am a celebrity and so get me out of here" or something like that (in down under). So, he has found an alternate career at least.

I don't know what is this show about as it is an Aussie show. But, from the title I thought getting out was the objective.
