Australia's latest coming of age tennis star Bernie Tomic ranked 37th has managed to come from 2 sets down to win in 5 sets (4-6 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 6-2 7-5) in defeating the much higher ranked Fernando Verdasco (24th) the 22nd seed.
Lucky for Bernie that the male players don't play the best of 3 sets which is given to the less talented women players, otherwise he'd have been out of the tournament.

The previous Australian to come from 2 sets behind was Leyton Hewitt.
Those tennis players that are taller usually have an advantage which although Hewitt isn't short is probably what stifled Hewitt's career (5' 11"). A couple more inches may have helped his serve and game.
Bernie is 6'5".

Goooo Bernie

Christ, he'll be just as gumpy as Peter Garrott dancing like a burning spastic on stage, only with a tennis racket and sweatband.


Excessively tall people are often uncoordinated, dyspraxic, I already told you this Bart....

Google dyspraxia and height.

6,5 isn't excessively tall. Some of those extra tall basketball players do look cumbersome, at times though.

It is very tall to a little bloke of 5.6 though.
