Tomic cracks world’s top 30 Nice, France, 22 May 2012 | Matt Trollope Bernard Tomic has continued his meteoric rise up the world rankings, debuting in the top 30 after his run to the second round of last week’s Rome Masters. The Australian, just 19 years of age, is ensured of being seeded at the French Open, the first time in his young career that he will be seeded at a major tournament. Tomic fell in the second round at the Foro Italico to Novak Djokovic, but the result was enough to vault him four places to world No.28, a career-high ranking. Tomic整個紅土賽季馬不停蹄的趕場，雖於在上周的羅馬大師賽，次輪不敵球王Djo， 但也因此讓排名攀升至世界第28位的生涯新高，同時獲得法網公開賽，作為種子選手 征戰的資格，這將是他首次以種子身分參加法網。 The Queenslander has risen more than 150 places in the rankings in the past 12 months. The biggest jump came after his surprising run to the Wimbledon quarterfinals as a qualifier, the result seeing him crack the top 100 for the first time. Since then, other impressive results have allowed Tomic to continue his climb, including a good run in the Asian fall swing of late 2011 that helped entrench him within the top 50. Tomic kicked off his 2012 season with an exciting run to the fourth round of the Australian Open, but it’s been his vastly improved performances on clay that have helped the youngster take the step up to this new elite ranking class. Having failed to win a main draw match on dirt in 2011, Tomic has gone a respectable 5-5 in 2012, winning matches in Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Munich and Rome and gaining plentiful match practice on clay in the lead-up to Roland Garros. 過去一年他爬升了超過150個名次，積分主要收獲來自於溫網，他以資格賽選手身分， 闖進至前八強，此壯舉也讓他前進至前100名。之後他持續好狀態，在亞洲賽季也取得 不錯的成績，因此進入到前50位。 此外，於年初的澳網也前進至第四輪。去年他未能進入法網正賽，今年在各紅土賽事上 則漸漸嶄露頭角。 He will have a chance to build on that record – and possibly further lift his ranking – with his participation in this week’s ATP 250 event in Nice. The French Open begins Sunday 27 May. 他本周仍在法國尼斯參賽，排名仍有進步的可能性。 http://tinyurl.com/6rhw8cg --
