Its For Sale! http://thetennistimes.com/want-to-buy-bernard-tomics-v8-bmw-m3-its-for-sale/ http://thetennistimes.com/want-to-buy-bernard-tomics-v8-bmw-m3-its-for-sale/#comments Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:30:22 +0000 The Insider http://thetennistimes.com/?p=6141

Bernard Tomic in not so surprising news has decided to sell his V8 BMW M3.

I wish to move forward from this and use it as part of my learning experience, so I’ve decided to sell my BMW. I’ll put my dream car on hold for a while and in the next few years I’ll look again and hopefully I will be able to find a similar car. I now want to focus on my tennis without any distractions.

Tomic has a court date on February 14 for driving the car in areas not permitted under his license.

Sacha Jones has decided to switch elegances and moves from playing for New Zealand to Australia. This move will allow the 21 year old Aucklander to play to Australia as of next week.

“I’m very grateful for the support that Tennis New Zealand has given to my career to date but, if I want to achieve my goals, I believe that being involved in the Australian program will give me the best opportunity to do it.”

With a New Zealand mother and an Australian father, Jones has dual nationality and had the option of playing for either country.

Bernard Tomic is now claiming police harassment. Tomic was reportedly under investigation for dangerous driving. Now the wannabe tennis superstar is claiming that the police are targeting him specifically. Basically, he says he is being victimised by a ‘jealous’ Gold Coast traffic cop who has pulled him up several times while out and about in his distinctive bright orange BMW M3.

One thing I have learnt is to never get on the bad side of cops!

 

“He doesn’t like me for some reason … he’s always on my tail,” the teenager said.

“I think it’s really bad. I haven’t done a thing wrong – I just go about my business as a tennis player.”

Svetlana Kuznetsova has decided to start the year off with a new coach. Svetlana rehired Olga Morozova as her coach. Kuznetsova is currently training with Morozova in Dubai ready for the hot Australian summer. It will be very interesting to see if she is able to improve her performances from 2011, where she didnt do so well.

Tomic drives a BMW M3 at home on the Gold Coast, Australia. The P-Plate license he has doesn’t normally allow someone to drive such a powerful car, but for him they were lift. However, now there have been a lot of complaints against Tomic and the police launched an investigation into ‘dangerous driving’ allegations against Tomic.

The special conditions mean that Tomic is only allowed to drive the luxury sports car  to drive directly to and from tennis training at the Queen St courts in Southport.

Bernard you must be expecting to lose your license.. or at least your privileges to drive your BWM M3.
