Tennis bad boy Bernard Tomic was 'investigated by police in bombshell Australian Open probe' 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.
Bernard Tomic is pictured during his 2022 Australian Open qualifying tournament match against Roman Safiullin, which was reportedly the subject of a police investigation.
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.
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.
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.
