Forgotten man Tomic earns first Tour win since 2021
MALLORCA, SPAIN, JUN 24 – Bernard Tomic ended a 1,597-day winless streak at ATP main draw level by defeating Rinky Hijikata, boosting his ranking from 248 to near the top 200, officials said.
- Bernard Tomic recorded his first main tour match win since 2021 by coming from behind to defeat wildcard Rinky Hijikata 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 at the Mallorca Open on Tuesday.
- Tomic, aged 32, chose to skip Wimbledon qualifying and qualified for Mallorca by defeating top-100 players Jasper De Jong and Aleksandar Kovacevic.
- The win marked a milestone after years on lower tours, with Tomic once ranked 17th but falling as low as 825 in 2022 and often criticized for his attitude.
- Tomic's ranking is expected to rise to at least 214, and a victory over 37-year-old Roberto Bautista Agut on Thursday could lift him further in the live rankings.
- The victory suggests Tomic is attempting a quiet comeback, looking to regain form and re-enter the top 100, while Bautista Agut continues his own career resurgence.
