Tomic gets winning start at Wimbledon qualifying

BERNARD Tomic has cleared his first Wimbledon hurdle, breezing through the opening round of qualifying.

The former world No.17 was too good for Italian Matteo Donati, advancing 7-6 (7-1) 6-3.

Returning to the Bank of England courts for the first time since 2011, the Queenslander was simply too classy for Donati.

Tomic’s last visit here resulted in miracle run to the main draw and ultimately to quarter-finals, where, at 18, he was the youngest man to reach the last eight since Boris Becker in 1986.

Now ranked outside the top 150, Tomic needs to win two more matches to reach the main draw this year.

“I played well, it was good,” Tomic said.

“It’s good. Played well here many times before in the main draw – third round, fourth round.

“It’s great here.”
