Bernard Tomic's phone was reportedly seized as part of an investigation into match-fixing that focused on two tennis matches, including a headline-grabbing contest at the 2022 Australian Open qualifying. A police strike force was created in 2022 to probe Tomic, whose career has spiralled since reaching a career-high ranking of world No.17 in 2016, a report in The Age has claimed.

Tomic was not charged. Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that he is guilty of any criminal conduct. The 32-year-old stumbled to a straight-sets defeat in round one of Australian Open qualifying earlier this month, having returned to play in Melbourne for the first time in three years.

Multiple bookmakers raised concerns about suspicious betting on two matches Tomic lost, according to the publication. The fixtures under the microscope were allegedly the Australian's 6-1 6-4 loss to Russian Roman Safiullin at the 2022 Australian Open qualifying tournament, and a 6-0 6-1 loss to Frenchman Quentin Halys in Turkey in late 2021.

The operation was reportedly led by NSW Police, with help from their Victorian and Queensland counterparts and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission. Daily Mail Australia asked NSW Police to confirm whether Tomic was the subject of a probe and got the following reply: 'The NSW Police Force does not have a current investigation into tennis match fixing.'.
