MELBOURNE — Australian bad boy Bernard Tomic has shrugged off his Miami arrest and banishment from the Davis Cup team to successfully defend his ATP title in Bogota.
Tomic was accused of hitting "rock bottom" by Tennis Australia's high performance chief Pat Rafter after being charged for resisting arrest and trespass in relation to a noisy hotel room party he hosted earlier this month.
However, the negative attention does not appear to have affected the controversial 22-year-old's tennis.
He battled past Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-1 3-6 6-2 in Sunday's final of the Claro Open to join Grigor Dimitrov and Milos Raonic as the only players born in the 1990s to win three tour titles.
