After all the hard work and dedication it takes to get to Wimbledon, at least one player couldn't be bothered with actually trying to win.
Bernard Tomic, a 24-year-old Australian, said Tuesday he "just couldn't find any motivation" to compete this year. "I felt a little bit bored out there," Tomic said, "to be completely honest with you."
Tomic was playing at Wimbledon for the eighth time. He lost to Mischa Zverev 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 on Court 14. "I feel holding a trophy or, you know, doing well, it doesn't satisfy me anymore," Tomic said. "It's not there. I couldn't care less if I make a fourth-round US Open or I lose (in the) first round. To me, everything is the same. I'm going to play another 10 years, and I know after my career I won't have to work again."
Tomic has won three titles in his career, the first in Sydney in 2013. He then won consecutive titles in Bogota, Colombia, in 2014 and 2015.
