Bernard Tomic might claim to have $10 million in his bank account at age 23, but that doesn't impress world No.1 Novak Djokovic much.
The Serbian tennis star, who has a close training relationship with the Australian, has accused Tomic of failing to be committed to the sport after he gave up in the final point of his first-round match against Italian Fabio Fognini at the Madrid Masters.
"I've seen what he has done. It's not right and I hope he realises that," Djokovic told French news agency AFP.
"I'm just hoping for him, because over the last couple of years I got to know him better and he's a good guy, he's a good person, but he's just failing to be committed to this sport as it is required."
The Australian was criticised when he held his racquet by the strings and pointed the handle at the net as he failed to offer a return on match point.
He then inflamed the situation further when he showed little remorse for his actions when quizzed on Wednesday.
"I don't care about that match point," Tomic told News Corp Australia.
"Would you care if you were 23 and worth over $10 million?"
