Bernard Tomic has been proven right after he claimed that he would test positive for Covid-19 after being dumped out of the Australian Open in a qualifying match.
Tomic was trounced 6-1 6-4 by Russian Roman Safiullin - ranked No.146 in the world - on Tuesday, but his Covid claim has turned out not to be an excuse, it was true.
Tomic, 29, felt certain he would test positive to Covid within two days after his typically bizarre and uncompetitive start to what was meant to be his comeback tournament.
Sporting a peroxide blond hairstyle, the new-look Tomic dished up his usual antics on Melbourne's Kia Arena on Tuesday in his match against Russian Safiullin.
But he lost in just 57 minutes.
