MELBOURNE — Australia's top-ranked tennis player Bernard Tomic has apologized after a row with hotel staff over the use of courts near his Gold Coast residence in the leadup to the Australian Open, local media reported.

Tomic, who made the semi-finals of the Brisbane International last week, clashed with staff at the RACV Royal Pines resort after a dispute with members over access to the courts, the Gold Coast Bulletin said.

"I've been so focused on preparing for all my matches, I know there's no excuse for my behavior," the paper quoted the world number 18 as saying.
