Visit from the trainer on the first changeover of Bernard Tomic's match. He's taking his pulse before serving down break point. #AusOpen
^Tomic was taking his own pulse before serving, to be clear. He got broken.
Tomic was hyping up his return to #AusOpen competition quite a bit on social media, but this is rough going for him against in-form Roman Safiullin.

Not sure if Tomic is blaming his physical difficulties on potential Covid, but he just complained to the umpire during the changeover that #AusOpen is relying on rapid antigen tests rather than PCR tests.
Tomic trails Safiullin 1-6, 1-2.

Doesn’t sound like a person who should be playing at the #AusOpen, folks!
Understandablt, the doctor was quick to tell Tomic to put his mask on correctly during that visit in the first changeover.

And here’s video of Tomic’s remarks. Wild stuff.
He’s still competing. Hope Safiullin dodges the handshake! #AusOpen

Convinced he's symptomatic with Covid, Bernard Tomic loses 6-1, 6-4 in 56 minutes to Roman Safiullin.
Safiullin proactively offered a fistbump; Tomic accepted.
And yes, #AusOpen protocols would certainly not encourage a player to come on site with symptoms during a pandemic.
