Bernard Tomic (or better… his father) chose Velimir Zovko.
The Croat will “co-coach” Bernard with his father John that has been banned from the ATP after assaulting Tomic’s hitting partner.
How will it work?
Well apparently John Tomic will still be in charge (no surprises about that) and he will keep on training Bernard, but the ew coach will spend more time on court with the young Australian and he will be with him during the tournaments.
Bernard: He is Croat and he can understand me
“This guy will be more there on court, spending more hours with me. My dad will sort of be less, but obviously my dad knows me best, and if he sees something that’s obviously wrong or mistaken then they’ll have a talk about it outside of tennis,” commented Bernard
“He’s from Croatia, he speaks my language, and it’s very important for me to have a good communication, someone that understands me, my background, because it’s not easy – I’m a difficult sort of guy,” he added.
Berard his coming out from another controversy after he has been photographed having fun with some lap dancers.
