SYDNEY — Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic was supposed to be playing Davis Cup for Australia on Friday.
Instead, news emerged that the 22-year-old Tomic, suspended from the match for his critical comments of Tennis Australia and performance director Pat Rafter, had been arrested in Miami Beach, Florida earlier in the week.
Tomic, who was set to play in the Davis Cup quarterfinal against Kazakhstan before his feud with Rafter, was allegedly contacted three times over loud music after noise complaints from other guests at a Miami Beach hotel.
A Miami police report stated that he "pointed his finger aggressively towards the hotel security officers and continued to play loud music," prompting them to call the police.
