Australian teenage sensation Bernard Tomic believes he can win a Grand Slam title within two years after his Wimbledon run came to an end in a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 quarter-final defeat to Novak Djokovic.
Tomic has long been earmarked as one of the sport’s rising stars after winning the Australian and US Open junior titles. But he struggled to live up to his potential for a while and nearly didn’t make it to Wimbledon after coming within five points of losing his first match in the qualifying event. All that has changed now and the 18-year-old leaves the All England Club widely regarded as a potential top-10 player. Tomic, currently ranked 158th, claimed a host of impressive scalps including world number five Robin Soderling and 29th seed Nikolay Davydenko, en route to becoming the youngest male
quarter-finalist here for 25 years.
