Goran hails Tomic as our next tennis star Angela Habashy November 13, 2010 AAP Bernard Tomic is "Australia's next big player", declared former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic, and the big-hitting youngster agrees with the man he calls his friend . The charismatic Croat is a big fan of the 18-year-old even predicting a top 10 ranking for the Queenslander. "He won Australian Open juniors at 15, so there's a lot of expectation on him and everybody thought he was going to move faster in the ranking. "But I think he has great potential, I think he's going to be Australia's next great player," Ivanisevic told AAP. "I don't know how great, he can be top 10... it depends on him. "But I think he has a real talent and he can do it." 前温网冠军－Goran Ivanisevic表示，Tomic会是澳洲网坛的明日之星，这位 澳洲小将附和Goran的观点，并和他与朋友相称。这位充满魅力的克罗埃西亚 人，对年仅18岁的Tomic赞誉有加，甚至以世界前10名的标准，来预测 Tomic 的未来。 "他在15岁时就拿下青少年组的澳网冠军，想当然尔，他身上背负许多人的期 望，每个人都觉得他的排名会迅速窜升。我认为他有很棒的潜质，能成为澳洲 男子网坛中的优秀选手，我不清楚要有多棒才能成为TOP10，这要看他的表现 而定，但我认为他的确有天赋能做到。" The Tomic camp has previously threatened to switch allegiance to Croatia after falling out with Tennis Australia, but Ivanisevic thinks the talented teen should stay put. "I think he should stay in Australia. "Australia gave him everything so he should stick here. "And he should play Davis Cup because now you have Patrick Rafter as the Davis Cup captain. "So I really think he has a great future in front of him and I wish him all the best." 有趣的是，Tomic的团队，自从与澳洲网球协会发生摩擦後，曾一度考虑过将他 转为克罗埃西亚籍，但Goran则认为他应该留下。 "我认为他应该留在澳洲，这国家给了他很多资源，他应该赖在那里，而且他也 应该参加台维斯盃，因为他们现在有了Patrick Rafter当队长。所以我真的觉得 他有大好前程，希望他一切顺利。" Tomic, who sees Ivanisevic as a mentor of sorts, echoes his opinions and thinks his top 10 prediction will become a reality. "I think I can one day of course," he told AAP "It's great that he thinks that I can be in the top 10, any mention from him about me is always good. "He's a great guy and whenever I get the chance to talk to him it's always good to get some advice from him, we've always been friends." Tomic把Goran当作自己的人生导师(Tomic也是克罗埃西亚後裔)，附和他的意见。 希望有朝一日自己能成为Top10的球员。 "很高兴他认为我有实力能进Top10，他常常说我的好话，他是个好人，每次和他 谈过之後，我都觉得受益良多，我们一直是好朋友。" While the Australian Open Junior champion has had a rocky Davis Cup past he seems eager to get it back on track. "Yes for sure I'd love to play Davis Cup," Tomic said. "We've still got a while till the next Davis Cup so I'm just going to focus on the Australian Open where I'm aiming to do really well and then we'll see after that. And as for thoughts of defecting to Croatia, they seem a thing of the past. "No one can give me what Australia has given me, I feel so comfortable playing here," Tomic said. "For me it was a dream to play for Australia when I played in February and it will continue to be for the coming years." 尽管澳洲小将过去参与台维斯盃时频受阻碍，他现在似乎有自信能让一切回归正轨。 "我非常愿意打台维斯盃，不过距离下次参赛还有一段时间，所以我现在把焦点放在 澳网上，我目标订得很高，我会让你们看到我的表现。" 至於对转籍克罗埃西亚的想法，他们也将它视为过去式了。 "没有其他国家，能与澳洲给我的资源相比，在这里打球很自在，对我来说，今年二 月能代表澳大利亚打台维斯盃，就像一场梦，我希望明年也能继续。" http://tinyurl.com/26w5p5z --
