Bernard Tomic<\/a> has been sensationally booted from the stands of a tournament in the Dominican Republic for heckling the player who'd beaten him two days earlier.<\/p>\n

Tomic was knocked out of the RD Open in Santo Domingo in straight sets 6-2, 6-2 by Ecuadorian lucky loser Andres Andrade in the quarter final on Friday morning (AEST).<\/p>\n

Andrade won his semi-final the following day, \ufeffand met Bosnia-Herzegovina's Damir Dzumhur in the final.<\/p>\n

But Tomic, clearly still bitter from the loss, returned to the venue and sat in the stands for the final to heckle Andrade.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses said Tomic even moved around the venue between games to ensure he was always at the same end as Andrade.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Bernard<\/p>\n

He was eventually confronted by tournament officials and removed early in the second set, which prompted a massive cheer from the crowd.<\/p>\n

"I want this guy to be taken out," Andrade could be heard saying as Tomic was escorted out.<\/p>\n

The chair \ufeffumpire responded by telling him he had been removed, and would be spoken to again should he return.<\/p>\n

Andrade lost the final in straight set\ufeffs 6-4, 6-4.<\/p>\n

It's the latest in a career full of bizarre lows from a man once predicted to be a multiple grand slam winner.<\/p>\n

Once ranked No.17 in the world rankings, Tomic now sits at No.250. He hasn't been inside the top-100 since 2019.<\/p>\n

His win-loss on the Challenger Tour this year is 12-13.<\/p>\n

At a tournament in Arkansas in June, while the world's best were playing at the French Open, Tomic quit mid-match after getting into a bizarre argument with his girlfriend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His last tournament win came in a lowly ITF tournament in Chennai, India in January on Australia Day weekend.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
