Now this might be quite the controversial suggestion to do, but can you do a video on "Why are there not more male Asian tennis players?" The Asian players in the WTA circuit compared to their ATP counterparts, are far more vast (more importantly, Southeast Asian). ( It's mainly, because I only see Japanese players in the ATP perform well, and yet in the WTA, China, Japan, Taipei, Taiwan, and countless other Southeast Asian countries represent tennis very fairly & just. (Where's Paradorn Srichaphan and his crew?) (Where's Wu Di and his comrades?)

@@Gertzy41 Not sure what to think bout Tomic. On one side most pro players have childhood taken away with hard trainings(tennis players specially due to international tournament based competition=often travel). Tennis is expensive sport, and most funds come from parents=big pressure to success.I don't think Australia invested even 1$ in his development. Parents can be harsh with big expectations(money they invested). On other side there are expectations from spectators/crowd what behavior is acceptable and what isn't. Sometimes people crack under pressure(Naomi Osaka withdrawal from RG recently). On bottom line he has no debts to anyone in order to justify his behaviour. I think he just didn't articulate his frustrations well. And big part of that frustration comes from not often visible inner rules of ATP competition.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. Tomic is very similar to Agassi (perhaps not as talented). Agassi was forced into the sport by his father and Nick Bollettieri, who slowly but surely sapped his passion for the game. He responded by acting out and living the celebrity lifestyle. Then, he bottomed out with his drug use. He chose to redefine his relationship with tennis and rebuilt both his life and his game on his own terms. He took ownership over the process and in the end found both meaning and peace within a game that he once saw as a type of prison. Tomic will have to determine whether or not he wants to do this. He will have to rededicate himself to the game on his terms and probably without his father's influence. If he doesn't want to do that, that's okay too. He should stop playing tennis if it has no meaning for him.

As a professional tennis coach, I can say this started long ago due to his father. His father made him realize the dream but it wasn’t the dream of Bernard’s. He was forced to train super hard and he was not given a choice. If his father had found a way to inspire Bernard and make the training fun and help him find the desire inside to do what he does, then Bernard would have a whole different story to tell. Most kids like Bernard quit tennis when they are still young. The whole goal for the father was money. Once Bernard and his father made the money, the hunger was gone and the goal was fun. That won’t sustain a tennis career.

My take on Tomic is, simple fact is he has never been able to translate his junior success into the main tour and this call talent everybody is goin on about him was way overhyped. He never developed enough bigger game to succeed. You look at his success at his peak when I think he got into top30 I think it was due to winning few piss small events and showing some consistency. But was he ever a threat to win anything big, cmon get real. His record against the elite was a joke, his best wins were Ferrer and Nishi. I compare his potential to Kyrgios it’s not even same league in terms of posing a threat, and I’m not even a Nik fan. Both of them are clowns with no real discipline and dedication just talkin crap.

I relate to him so much. I grew up playing football with a toxic father as a coach/mentor. My fathers football knowledge and the training sessions be set up for me we’re PHENOMENAL. I was an absolutely amazing player Bc of my father. But unfortunately, the way my father treated me cultivated a very weak mindset. He would mentally abuse me all the time whenever I trained. Let’s say I made one poor pass, I’d be called worthless, a useless bitch, threatened to abandon me on the field, etc etc, I could write all day long about the shit be did.I had lots of natural talent and tons of work ethic. But when I competed in game and things got tough on the field, I would crumble mentally. All the berating my father gave me during practice, I would berate myself during actual games for a mistake. I was either playing like an absolute STAR, or just simply horrible because I would beat myself up really really really badly that I couldn’t recover from a little mistake I made. I was ridden with crippling anxiety and fear every time I played. It’s no way to be if you want to be a consistent, strong willed athlete. Also, all that toxicity my father fed me. It seeps into everything, not just the way I performed in football but in every day life. I would treat myself poorly, and the people around me as well. I spent 80-90% of my time with my father training. I was a hurt kid hurting people. I’m 22 now and I’ve matured a lot since I’ve quit football and distanced myself from my dad. Im way more skilled and consistent now that I’m mentally stronger.

Same thing that destroyed my tennis career before it started. I was consistently called the "streakiest tennis player they'd ever seen" as I'd either go on 6-0 6-0 tears or fall to pieces, or both, once reaching 6-0 5-0 and losing at a state level match. Same as you, except it was my mum that would criticise me - academics was even the same, I'd won an award putting me 2nd place in a world wide math competition, only beaten by a kid 3 years older who'd repeated his grade multiple times, and all my mum had to say was that I would have been 1st if I applied myself properly, which was ironic considering she's a fat woman who looked down her nose at any sort of effort to improve yourself, leading to my to-this-day defining trait of working harder than anyone else in secret to maintain some stupid reputation that I'm "just that talented", which is exactly what she seemed to want (I'm 34 and still catch myself doing this). In tennis specifically I eventually proved to myself that it the ability was there if I wasn't so weak mentally - I used to dominate my local Friday night competition, as there was no pressure - one Friday I suddenly had a bunch of extra people watching and thanks to my ever present ego I decided to give a bit of a show, with nonsense spin serves that just clear the net and go sideways and even a backspin lob that just about broke their ankles when they ran back to get to it and it changed direction on the bounce. Won 6-0 in a single set match set, only to find out the opponent was some prodigy ranked at the top for his age in the country (I was 3 years older, but hadn't played anything serious since flopping from our state team), and all the extra people were there to watch him, not me. My old coach was there, coming up to me after and telling me that was what I could have been with a head on my shoulders. That finally gave me the self awareness to see what I'd let myself become, but at that age it's hard to change something so ingrained, so even to today it's something I have to keep a lid on at all times. When I have kids of my own I'm going to take a leaf out of Kobe's dad's book, and just tell them they are loved no matter what the outcome is.

@@xsjado_anon I relate to what you typed out so much it’s crazy. Growing up I would have matches just like that. I would either play really well or really poorly. I would start off a match doing really well but if I made a simple mistake the mental abuse I gave myself in my head would cause a downward spiral in my performance that match. Either that or my mistake during the game would immediately have me worrying of all the emotional abuse I was going to receive on the car ride back home. Lol funny enough he would say things like, “you’re such a wuss I should put you in a soft womens sport like tennis” (so ridiculous I know, today I actually play tennis a lot and love it. I wish I was introduced to it in a healthy way as a child. It’s such a beautiful sport, it’s like playing chess, super cerebral once you have good technique) When a narcisstic parents/persons say insults to people. It’s almost as if they’re talking about themselves. For example: A narcisstic person will say “You are a horrible, lazy person that shows no remorse!!” meanwhile they themselves are the ones that have those traits and the person they are insulting don’t have those traits. It’s a classic pattern with narcissistic/toxic people. I suggest you watch Dr. Rahmani’s videos about narcissistic parents/narcissism in general. If you find yourself setting unhealthy expectations of yourself to “prove yourself”, deep feelings of insecurity, never feeling like you are enough, shaming and berating yourself for little tiny mistakes, excessive fear of being judged by others, lack of self care, etc etc etc. I really do suggest you watch those videos. I even suggest going to a therapist that SPECIALIZES in narcissistic abuse. It’s life changing and will only help you optimize your life, be a better person, and perform better at your tasks. Im sorry if I have offended you to ask you to get help if you are struggling. I only offer help because I got help for narcissistic abuse from my parent and my life changed for the better. You should Google “when the Golden Child grows up” on KZitem from dr Rahmani. You were raised to be a “Golden Child” by your toxic parent. This “golden child” is a term used by psychologists who specialize in parental narcissistic abuse to describe what we went through as children. You should look up what that term means and I think Dr Rahmani describes it to a T.

I think Tomic's story is very human and relatable. Sustaining interest, motivation and constantly trying to improve is a very demanding grind, especially in athletics when you become aware too late that you aren't as exceptionally talented as other people in your lane. Getting bored of your 'thing' or 'passion' is all too common and it's why you see people dabble in various lines of work instead of doing the same thing forever. You hope to see Tomic give it is all but if he simply just wants to play for money, so what? He wouldn't be the first nor the last

Bernard Tomic reminds me a lot of Andre Agassi. Both had tyrannical fathers, both probably never really loved tennis, both dealt with it in different, but almost equally catastrophic ways. Tomic primarily did it with recklessness and rebellion; Agassi dealt with it primarily through drugs. There are fathers like this in all kinds of pursuits. Even if the fathers succeed in their goals, the cost is unbelievably high to the kid. Take care of your kid, help them if they ask, but ultimately it's their life and you have to let them find themselves out.

Despite being considered a failure, he made 320k in 2019, 420k in 2018, and more before that. He didn't make any money last year because of the pandemic but by making the 2nd round of the Aus open today, he has guaranteed himself 120k this year already. I guess the disgrace isn't really a disgrace after all.

Brilliant Channel Mate! Keep up the good work. Here's some suggestions to make videos on - 1) I always found some Tennis tournaments give away absurd trophies. You can make like "15/20 weirdest/funniest trophies given on tour". It would be funny video 2) A video about my personal fav. of all time Goran Ivanišević 3) Video about some of the greatest upsets that no one saw coming.

I had the opportunity to meet the fellow Croat at a Montreal sporting complex after he lost a 3 set match at the Roger’s cup. He was intensely practicing shots and drills for a few hours with his team . After they tired out he dribbled a soccer ball 200 times on his feet and stopped (he could’ve gone on longer). Then we all played a few fun games of winning basketball. We didn’t lose any of the games. We just stopped playing and he had to go. I was very impressed with his athleticism and his level of energy. When they say this game is 90% mental maybe this is not where his strength lies. I don’t know. My experience seeing this guy left me in awe that he’s so skilled and in good shape I can’t believe that he’s not in the top 10.

This video glossed over how abusive and toxic his father was. Glad to see people in the comments acknowledging it. This is what happens to children of abuse. They act out in self-destructive ways. And his father was probably abused somehow b/c that's how abuse works, a cycle handed down from one generation to the next. John McEnroe ought to keep his mouth shut b/c he singlehandedly ushered in abusive behavior of tennis players on court and people glorified him for it... idk what McEnroe's excuse is. The week Rafa played doubles with Tomic amid all of the media thrashing is one of the most heartwarming gestures I've seen in tennis. I hope Tomic gets help and healing at some point and gets the compassion he needs to turn his life around. His soul is more important than tennis career.

Though I appreciate the indepth analysis, and I loved technical look at Tomic's trademark tennis shots, I think the reasons behind Tomic's downfall might be a little more complex and deserving of a little bit more empathy than granted in this video. For example, given his accomplishments in the minor circuits, I don't think it's fair to say that he does not put in the work. I've heard of so many former student athletes who didn't always rise to the top but were pushed to such extents by parents, coaches and a whole highly profitable youth circuit, that they entered adulthood psychologically damaged/broken, and develop a natural repulsion to competing ever again. This is a very common pattern, and it looks a whole lot like what happened to Tomic, if you look past the speeding tickets and the exhuberance of wealth.

I feel for Bernard. He was such a talent (and really still is from watching his recent Challenger matches). He's a good looking guy. Seems like he could be a friendly guy. But his demons torment him and no one has been able to help him. People don't act out the way he does without past trauma. Now, one has to want to heal from that trauma so that's where Bernard doesn't seem to have helped himself.
