French Open Will Bar Bernard Tomic's Father John Tomic, the father and coach of Australian tennis star Bernard Tomic, will not be granted accreditation to this year's French Open, according to the tournament director Gilbert Ysern. John Tomic is facing charges of assault in Spain after an alleged attack in Madrid last week on Thomas Drouet, his son's hitting partner. John Tomic has denied the charges, claiming he delivered a head butt to Drouet's face as an act of self-defense. Drouet also has accused John Tomic of striking Bernard Tomic in the face during a practice session in Monaco on April 30. John Tomic has not yet publicly addressed that allegation. On Tuesday, the ATP, which is also conducting its own investigation, announced that it had barred John Tomic from receiving credentials at its events until further notice. The ATP ban does not apply to the four Grand Slam tournaments, but Ysern said on Wednesday that John Tomic would not be accredited to the French Open, which begins May 26 in Paris. "No, we are not going to let Mr. Tomic in at Roland Garros this year," Ysern said in an e-mail message. The International Tennis Federation, the sport's international governing body, said Wednesday that it would also implement a ban on Tomic. "Following discussions today, the ITF will support the ATP in putting John Tomic on the "do not credential" list with immediate effect, and we will await the outcome of the ATP's investigation," said Nick Imison, a spokesman for the ITF, which owns and operates the Davis Cup and other events. That also means that John Tomic would not be able to receive accreditation for ITF junior events in which his 15-year-old daughter, Sara, might compete. Stacey Allaster, the chief executive of the WTA Tour, said it was premature to announce what approach the women's tour might adopt toward John Tomic. "I agree with the ATP's decision," Allaster said. We'd make the same decision. I can't comment on what the future might be for Mr. Tomic. I can say the WTA has zero tolerance for any kind of abuse towards our athletes or other player support team members on the WTA. That is our policy and we also have extensive education for our young athletes to make them aware of what is and what is not acceptable behavior.
