• Hewitt accused of promoting talent for financial gain
Bernard Tomic has launched an astonishing broadside at Lleyton Hewitt on his way out of the Australian Open, accusing the Davis Cup captain of splitting Australia’s playing ranks and promoting talent for personal financial gain.
Tomic was defeated 6-2 6-4 7-6 (7-3) by world No 7 Marin Cilic on Monday on his return to the tournament, a year after losing in qualifying for his home grand slam. He then closed the door on a Davis Cup return under Hewitt and exposed deep rifts among Australian players.
