He’s the bad boy sports star who’s better known for his antics off the court than on the court.
And before heading into the jungle for his stint on I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out Of here, Bernard Tomic sat down with The Project’s Carrie Bickmore where he revealed he wishes he had never gotten into tennis.
Opening up about his notoriously bad behaviour, the 25-year-old world number 143 put it down to a ‘professional burnout’ and confessed he didn’t love the game.

‘Do you wish you’d never got into tennis to start?’ asked Carrie, to which Benard replied: ‘Yeah, probably’.
And it wasn’t the only admission with the young athlete gave, revealing with his $10 million net worth, the game had now just ‘become a business’.

And although he’s currently been banned by Tennis Australia, Bernard’s egotistical persona returned when he said the nation would only be able to win the Davis Cup with his help.
‘I know the only way for Australia to win Davis Cup is for me and Nick [Kyrgios] playing,’ he said.
