Recently, a horrible event took place for a player who used to be a regular in the top 20 of the ATP rankings. Bernard Tomic has been absent from the top of men’s tennis for a while. The Australian player has been having a torrid time on the court, and now it seems like the same is the case off the court as well. Tomic was recently cornered and attacked by two men. 

This wasn’t an isolated event, unfortunately. Several tennis players have been attacked due to reasons that many cannot understand. In 2019, Petra Kvitova was attacked in her apartment, which led to a grave injury. This time, Tomic was attacked when he was out.

Bernard Tomic cornered and attacked on home soil!

The Australian tennis star used to be a regular player in slams and unfortunately fell out of the top 30 after reaching a career-high of 17 in 2016. His fall from grace was a big blow for Australian tennis, as many expected he would develop further. But going down the rankings is not the only bad thing that has happened to the 30-year-old.

A video has recently surfaced that shows Tomic being attacked by two assailants outside of a tattoo parlor. He was violently beaten by two men, and the footage has gone viral on social media. Viewer discretion is advised as the video shows acts of violence.

Tomic tries to shield his face with his hands in the 16-second video as his attackers tower over him and land a succession of kicks and blows.

As of now, the identity of the assailants, along with the cause of the attack, remains unknown. The date and time of the incident are also not known, and Tomic has not commented on the video either.

A tragic incident took place against a player, and unfortunately, it is not the only time a tennis player was attacked.

When Petra Kvitova was attacked in her apartment

In 2019, Kvitova was in the top 10 of the WTA rankings and continued to play smashing tennis. But her great season did not have a great end as she was attacked in her home. The Czech professional was attacked with a knife, which led to an injury in her left hand, forcing her to take a break from tennis. The attack was nightmarish and left her mentally scarred as well. For a while, she was unable to be around men.

Another incident took place in 1993 on Monica Seles, where she was stabbed with a knife in her back. To make matters worse, she was attacked during a match by a fan of her rival, Steffi Graf. Seles came back but could not play at the same level. Such attacks on athletes are tragic and lead to more than physical injuries.

The mental health of the person is also affected, and now everyone only hopes that Tomic will be able to recover from this horrific incident.
