Tennis Australia takes cheeky stab at Bernard Tomic

The ongoing feud between Tennis Australia and Bernard Tomic has taken yet another turn, with TA forced to apologise for an unfortunate 'typo' mocking the 22-year-old.

The sport's governing body on Monday released this week's schedule for our Aussie players, including Tomic.

The 22-year-old is set to take on compatriot John-Patrick Smith at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, however Tennis Australia slightly altered the name of the event:

The official schedule had Tomic playing in the 'Hall of Shame' Tennis Championships:

TA later apologised on Twitter, putting the mishap down to a 'typo':

Tomic has been stood down from this month's Davis Cup quarter-final tie against Kazakhstan for his explosive attack on TA chief Craig Tiley and other senior TA officials including president Steve Healy and former Cup captain Pat Rafter.

"His behaviour was unacceptable," Healy said.

"Playing for our country is an absolute privilege, and with that privilege comes an obligation to behave appropriately. He didn't."

Among a raft of sensational claims during his 10-minute tirade, Tomic accused the governing body of abandoning him after he underwent double hip surgery last year and that Rafter, now TA's director of player performance, was merely a "mask" for Tiley and had no idea how to control the budget for player funding.

Rafter yesterday said the rift with Tomic remained deep and possibly irreconcilable.

"It's about opportunity, not entitlement," Rafter said. "It's a principle I believe in and feel really passionate about.

"The philosophy has always been in place within Tennis Australia, but when I came in there, I made it quite clear and quite strong.

"My big philosophy is trying to take away that sense of entitlement and make young players hungry (to succeed). I hope that, in time, the Tomics (Bernard and father John) would see what we're trying to achieve in terms of helping the culture within our sport.
