Tennis: Bernard Tomic responded to Lleyton Hewitt’s claims
Bernard Tomic has denied threatening Lleyton Hewitt and his family, calling the Australian Davis Cup captain a "liar" following Hewitt's claims of physical threats and blackmail by Tomic.
"I have never threatened his family," the Herald Sun quoted Tomic as saying on Friday. "Nice, Lleyton. To think how low of a person you actually [are] and [it's] why the Australian public never liked you.
"I got nothing to do with your family and I don't care what's wrong with you, you liar."
Earlier, Hewitt spoke about this incident, saying, "From me it was probably the abuse I copped," Hewitt said. "In the end I drew a line in the sand. He won't play Davis Cup while I have anything to do with it.”
"I just think threats that I've received for me and my family – that I've had for a year and a half now – I don't think that anyone would reach out to a person that speaks like that."
Times are rough for Australian Tennis with these allegations within Australian men’s tennis overshadowing the home country’s achievements on court and it is showing no sign of dying down yet.
It all started after a first-round loss for Bernard Tomic, who accused Hewitt of favouring some players over others and said -one wanted him as Davis Cup captain.
