Balanced News: Real reason resurgent Tomic copped AO snub

When Bernard Tomic first burst onto the scene as a teenager, he had the tennis world at his feet – but for a variety of reasons, he never reached the top. The 30-year-old was left out of the qualifying wildcards when the list was released, and will not feature at Melbourne Park. Quite simply, by courtesy of his world ranking of 462 Tomic left his fate in the hands of Tennis Australia, with a wildcard entry into the qualifying draw his only hope of clawing his way into the first grand slam of 2023.
