Bernard Tomic: 14 Years Old
Footage taken from the 2007 BMW Rosebowl Final in Gold Coast, Australia. FAQ's Who is he playing? Mark Draper. No that is not a mistake, Mark Draper is Scott Draper's brother. Where is this played at? Queens Park Tennis Centre, Gold Coast, Australia. What was the end score? 6-4;7-6 to Mark Draper in the final round of the Rosebowl. Is this the best Australian tennis has to offer? Keep in mind Bernard Tomic was 14 at the time. Futhermore, this footage was taken during Bernard's struggling time. During this time, Tennis Australia cut his funds because he 'lacked effort' whilst competing in the Junior French open - making him unable to compete in the 2007 Junior Wimbledon. In my mind, Bernard is now a great player and hopeful for Australian tennis. However, if some disagree, feel free to discuss it in the comments. How old was his opponent? 36 years old, 22 years Bernard's senior. Is the Rosebowl a highly respected tournament? Yes and no. About 40-or-so years back it was. At that time, players like Rod Laver flocked to the Gold Coast to compete. These days it is used as platform to provide experience for Gold Coast junior players; such as Bernard Tomic, Joel Braund, Monika Wejnert etc. Wasn't there a video exactly the same as this on YouTube titled 'Bernard Tomic vs. Mark Draper: Highlights?' Yes. Both videos are taken and edited by me. I uploaded it again on this account because I was getting copyright claims for the audio on my other account (NerdStalker). To ensure the video was on YouTube during the 2009 Australian Open, I re-uploaded it onto another account minus the copyrighted music. Why is the footage so dodgy? All the footage was taken on a phone with quite low pixels, bad zoom and the lighting of the camera messed up as well for some reason. Sorry. Good luck Bernard!
