MELBOURNE — Australian tennis officials want to clear the air with Bernard Tomic and reinstate the country's estranged number one into the Davis Cup team for the semi-final against Britain.
The controversial world number 29 was booted off the team before the quarter-final win over Kazakhstan on Sunday for publicly criticizing Tennis Australia (TA) officials in an extraordinary tirade at Wimbledon.
Tomic was arrested in Miami last week after holding a noisy party at a penthouse suite in his hotel and the 22-year-old later said he was still "in a fight" with TA and had no intention of making peace.
