Bernard Tomic seeks US Open return amid career resurgence

Bernard Tomic is attempting a professional comeback, aiming to return to a Grand Slam main draw for the first time in over five years. Currently ranked No. 179 in the world, the former world No. 17 is competing in the US Open qualifying in New York, where he is scheduled to face South Africa’s Lloyd Harris.

Tomic’s recent form shows signs of resurgence following a period of decline and controversy. He recently secured the Lincoln Challenger title in Nebraska, his most significant win since 2018, and reached the quarter-finals in Los Cabos, which included a victory over Karen Khachanov.

Once a standout junior player and a Wimbledon quarter-finalist, Tomic’s career has been marked by both high-level talent and various off-court challenges. To reach the US Open main draw, he must win three consecutive qualifying matches.
