‘I Will Put My B**** in Your Mouth’: Tennis Player Goes on Insane Tirade Against Heckler
Nineteenth ranked men’s tennis player Bernard Tomic lost his first round match at the US Open on Tuesday, but that had nothing to do with why he was in such a nasty mood.
During much of the first set, a heckler was apparently giving Tomic the business. But rather than alerting the chair umpire or security, Tomic fired back.
“Suck on my balls,” Tomic said to the man.
Then he added a few more gems, like, “I will put my balls in your mouth,” and “I will give you some money to make you feel good.” Check out the video below, via Swedish journalist Alex Theodoridis.

At that point, chair umpire Cedric Mourier tried to intervene, telling Tomic he should direct complaints about the unruly spectator to him, rather than engage directly. The fan left the court after the first set.
After the match, Tomic offered a half-hearted apology.
“He was just baiting me a bit. You know, I don’t want to get into it. I apologized for what I said to him,” Tomic said.
“It was maybe not good that the crowd got too excited or sometimes speaking in the points,” he added. “It’s not fair.”
The 23-year-old Aussie appears certain to face disciplinary action from the ITF, tennis’s governing body.
