Omg I used to know someone from Tyler TX his name was Sonny

Also Earl Campbell was born there

 

In the first round qualifying match of the ATP Challenger Little Rock Tournament. Bernard Tomic has a familiar opponent he has faced in tournaments this year or last year, American Tristan McCormick.

 

you go bernie! please take that challenger

 

Lol I had genuinely forgotten about this player. Surprised he is still on tour.

 

Spectacular rally to get the final break. Check out 1:22:45

Nice reaction from Bernard as well!

 

he still got it, if he really wants it

 

Next up for Bernie is another American Christian Langmo, who is ranked 351 in the world. Tomic needs to beat him to get into the main draw of the Little Rock Challenger.

 

Forgot to post this, but over and out for Bernie. Lost first set in a tie break, won 2nd set comfortably. But got bagelled in the final set. He still has an awful lot of work to do, if he were to put the effort in.

 

In the first round of the qualifiers in Tyler (Texas) Bernard Tomic is unseeded and will play the 10th seed American Nick Chappell who is ranked 381 in the world. I wonder how far Bernie will go in this tournament?

 

Also in an update to Bernie's schedule, as it stands he will be competing at the ITF M15 at Santo Domingo in Dominican Republic on the week commencing 19th June. Where he is the 4th seed.

 

come to europe bernie please

Over and out in straight sets losing 7-5, 6-3.

 

In the first round of the qualifiers, Bernie takes on former Top 50 American tennis player Donald Young. Who had taken a wildcard to get into the Caribbean Open in Puerto Rico. This match could go either way I reckon?

 

Also, in another ITF Futures Tournament in the same place Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Week Commencing 26th June, is a M25 ITF Tournament where Bernie is also registered to compete. He is now top seed for the M15 Tournament on 19th June in Santo Domingo!

 

Easy peasy for the Bernard.

 

So Bernie got past through Donald Young. In the final round of the qualies he faces another American 'Strong' Kirchheimer. Only 2 ranking places separate the 2 players, so without a doubt. It could be more testing and tasty here!

 

Strong Tomic beats weak Kirchheimer 6-3 in the third. I'm going to watch the highlights soon. Hopefully we draw the American wildcard Alexander Bravo in the main draw for an easy starter.

 

He will need an ice bath and some heavy treatment from a fysio because it was brutal out there.

 

When will he break into Top 200 again? Is there any hope for that? Playing forever Challengers and Futures can't really be fun, with his talent.

 

We're about to go against fellow aussie Alex Bolt in a few minutes, good Chance and pretty important for BT as with a win he would go up to #359 in Live-Ranking, which should be close enough to regularly enter Challengers without have to go through Qualifying. I'm gonna try to watch live again and am really surprised, Bernie does have a very caring little Fanbase that follows him, hope he knows that.

 

Bernie takes the first set in a TB, 9-7 after being down 3-5*

 

Bernie serve&volleying his way to a 4-3 lead in the second set. Seeing that kills me, he wasn't able to get into wimbledon qualies😭

 

Wimbledon should give him a QWC

 

Tomic wins against Alex Bolt and faces fellow Aussie and 5th seed Dane Sweeny in the 2nd round.

 

First three match win streak since Monterrey in Feb and definitely a winnable match against Sweeney. Bernie surely needs to make at least one good challenger run before September to climb the rankings, otherwise he’s gonna end up chasing his own futures form from last year.

@AmirG please only post updates to this thread in future instead of posting the same thing twice.

 

He’s got the day off tomorrow as the whole bottom half of the draw is revolving around Nishikori.
I was hugely impressed by his win against Bolt - Bernie and Strong both went full troppo the day before so it was a professional effort.
Bolt just couldn’t believe how good Bernie’s serve was, he was a bit shell shocked.
As for the R16 match Sweeney is simply too small of a human being to trouble him.

 

with Moreno de Alboran out, who was tilist on Challenger Tour last week the draw is really opening up in that bottom half and actually the whole tournament. Let's not get too far ahead, but this seems a pretty decent opportunity for Bernie to really pile up some ranking points and get movin in those Rankings. He served really well against Bolt yesterday, Bolt could hardly get a serve back into play, obviously that suited BT energywise, really looking forward to that match against Sweeny - keep your head up Bernie you doing it tough right now, and people start acknowledge that

 

I love how all of the old legends like Raonic, Nishikori and Tomic are all returning in 2023. Only need Ryan Harrison and the 2014-2019 'next-gen' crew is back.

 

Bernie beats Sweeny in straights, 6–4, 7–6

Good comeback in the second set too, he was down *0-3 *15-40

He plays Brazilian qualifier Heide in the QF, with a potential SF against Nishikori down the line

Up to #345 in the live rankings now
