Cronin later told Fox Sports that he understood Drouet stepped in when Tomic tried to assault his son. "He broke his nose with a head-butt and knocked him out cold for 20 minutes," Cronin said. John will appear in court in Madrid to answer to the charges. Todd Woodbridge, the head of men's tennis for Tennis Australia, said they were still trying to confirm the details. "We're still trying to ascertain if or what charges have been laid," Woodbridge told 3AW radio. Woodbridge said reports that Bernard faced a potential 12-month suspension were incorrect. It's totally incorrect because this would have nothing to do with Bernard's behaviour. What's important for us at Tennis Australia is that this allegation is thrown toward John, his dad, and not to Bernard. Tennis Australia released the following statement mid-morning on Monday: Obviously media reports regarding an incident in Madrid are very concerning. We are working closely with ATP officials who are investigating the incident and are unable to comment further until the full facts are known.
