It's remiss not to recap the great man's recent French Open run.
Bernard put the tennis world on notice when he dismantled Justine Clarke (formerly Home and Away, Play School now "The Justine Clarke Show") to qualify.
Slammin' Sam Groth queried Tomic's mental resolve in the lead up to his showdown with Special K for the "Most Loved Mentally Toughest Aussie Sportsman" title at Roland Garros.
In relation to questions around Tomic's mental toughness Nick did his very best "hold my beer" by himself pulling out with injury but mentioning how fantastic he's feeling about everything.
This set the stage for an opponent with a collection of underdog excuses that a losing team bigfooty poster would die for.
Argentine battler Marco Trungelliti's profile and prep for the match:
