US Open 2015: Bernard Tomic tells Tennis Australia ‘I’m ready to play’ Davis Cup
BERNARD Tomic has declared he’s desperate to play in the Davis Cup and insists Australia needs its best players on the court.
Tomic — who said he had a series of meetings over the next 24 hours — made the remarks after a crushing defeat in round three of the US Open.
Tomic was wiped out of Flushing Meadows in three sets by Frenchman Richard Gasquet — the same player who beat Thanasi Kokkinakis earlier this week.
Gasquet made light work of Tomic, defeating him in 90 minutes.
Australia’s top ranked male player talked up his hopes of joining the Davis Cup team in Glasgow after being suspended from the quarter-final tie following a dramatic spray at Tennis Australia.
“I’m ready to play,” Tomic — who has won 14 Davis Cup matches and only lost two — said.
He said the cup matches were also crucial to building his points base.
“It’s a few matches there where I’d have the opportunity to improve my singles, not only playing Davis Cup. It’s like making the third round at a grand slam. It’s a very important match to win if I get the opportunity to play.”
The remarks came after News Corp Australia revealed Tomic had met with Davis Cup coach Wally Masur this week.
Tomic said that despite being arrested in Miami, he’d also won his third title since then at Bogota in Colombia.
