Bernard Tomic said in a recent interview that there will be no more dominant veterans like Roger Federer on the ATP World Tour. Instead, according to Tomic, a handful of up-and-comers will share the spoils.
“Generations will move on, for sure in two or three years there will be no Federers,” the 20-year-old Australian explained. “They will slowly start moving and four, five years from now it will be a totally different group of players in the Top 10; that’s for sure.
“It gives a chance for players like Milos Raonic and Grigor Dimitrov and myself to get into that spot, and take over and dominate. I’ve got to stay positive, keep working, and my time will come to get to that stage.”
Tomic peaked at No. 27 in the world rankings last June, but he has been no better than 39th since last October. Tomic’s highest ranking in 2013 was 40th and he currently registers at 51st. He did most of his damage en route to a 25-22 record during the Australian summer, with his first and only ATP title coming in Sydney prior to a third-round performance at the Australian Open.
In other news, Tomic has confirmed his participation in January’s Sydney International. He will be attempting to defend a title for the first time in his career.
