John Tomic Suspended Indefinitely From ATP Tour The father and coach of Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic has been suspended from the ATP tour until further notice following an alleged assault. He denied the charge, saying he acted in self defence, and will return to court on May 14 for a judge to decide his guilt or innocence. Bernard Tomic is preparing to continue his French Open build-up at the Rome Masters next week but, as it stands, his father and coach won't be allowed to attend. "Following last week's incident in Madrid concerning John Tomic, and the ensuing investigation, Mr Tomic's credential privileges have been suspended at all ATP tournaments until further notice," the ATP told AAP in a statement on Tuesday. The ATP's investigation into this incident remains ongoing. It comes amid calls from Drouet for John Tomic to be thrown off the tour permanently. "I want to help Bernard forbid his father from having access to tournaments," Drouet said in an interview published on Tuesday in French sports daily L'Equipe. I want him to be banned from the ATP and the WTA. He is a dangerous person, who has nothing to do in this sport of gentlemen. Drouet also claimed in the interview he saw the elder Tomic hit his son on more than one occasion, including last week. "John hit his son on the court, while we were training in Monaco," Drouet said. He punched him in the face. Blood was dripping from his mouth onto the court. Tuesday, he attacks his son, Saturday me, what's next? Drouet appeared at the Madrid court on Monday with his nose heavily bandaged and wearing a neck brace. Drouet earlier told News Ltd he had been "treated like a dog" by the coach and said the incident stemmed from an earlier altercation at Nice airport when John Tomic screamed at him for not getting some milk. Bernard Tomic reportedly said he had been with his physical trainer at the time of the incident and had seen or heard nothing. A spokesman for the world No.53's management company IMG Tennis told AAP on Tuesday he was not available for comment on the issue and was "focusing on preparing on court for Rome." Davis Cup captain Pat Rafter, coaching great Tony Roche and Tennis Australia's head of professional tennis Todd Woodbridge will also spend much of the next two months in Europe, taking in the French Open and Wimbledon.
