The just turned 32-year-old did make a few headlines this month after Tomic lost the shortest Challenger final ever, a 6-0 6-1 defeat to American Learner Tien at an event in Connecticut.
But the fact he has been reaching the pointy end of those tournaments has allowed his ranking to improve to No. 200, his highest mark in almost five years.
More importantly, the top 200 gives him an opportunity to get 파워볼사이트 himself back into the grand slam picture, including the Australian Open.
If he can maintain or improve his current standing, he will have eligibility to contest qualifying for his home slam, where he was once a young darling before becoming a disappointing firebrand in most people’s eyes.
He would also have the possibility of being handed a wildcard into the main draw, although that would seem far less likely at this stage.
Despite the one sided decider against Tien, it was a strong tournament for Tomic, who reached his first Challenger final in six years and improved his ranking to 207th in the world.
