Following a bruising 23-minute, first-set loss, the Australian was trailing 2-1 during a changeover in the second set when he told Brazilian umpire Aline Da Rocha Nocinto that he would test positive for Covid-19 within 48 hours and criticized the tournament's testing regulations.
"I am sure in the next two days I will test positive, I'm telling you," Tomic said.
"I will buy you dinner if I don't test positive in three days, otherwise, you buy me dinner.
"I cannot believe nobody is getting tested. They are allowing players to come on the court with rapid tests in their room ... no official PCR testing."

1. I wish all the players would demand proper testing!

And, on another note, I wish they would hurry up and send Novak packing!
- just for having provided false information about his travel prior to arriving in Australia 🤥

They caught him lying on that immigration form

4. Damn, I hope you're right.

They’ve opened a can of worms with this idiot.

5. The biggest worm is that many Australians were refused entry to their own country because

they were unvaccinated Folks are pissed.

6. Yes, it's a big mess, and they bollixed it up even more with this Joker crap.
