Bernard Tomic earned his biggest tour-level victory in eight years after defeating Karen Khachanov at the Los Cabos Open.
Tomic, now 33 years of age, beat fourth seed Khachanov in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, to advance to the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 event.
It was the Australian’s best win on the ATP Tour since beating Fabio Fognini in the 2018 Chengdu Open final.

Tomic will take on Cameron Norrie in the final four stage of the tournament, whom he has never faced before.
Two more triumphs would see Tomic reach a seventh tour-level final and his first since Chengdu in 2018.

What Bernard Tomic said about his career recently
Tomic, a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon in 2011 and a former world number 17, has enjoyed a resurgence recently.
Having dealt with injury setbacks as well as motivational issues, Tomic has made inroads towards a return to the top 100.
Tomic recently won a Challenger title in Lincoln, which spurred him on heading into Los Cabos.

They have 2 each right now…
After the win in Lincoln, he said: “I’ll be as honest as I can, about 10 days ago I hit a bit of a brick wall, maybe two weeks ago.
“I said this was going to be my last year, so I guess I have to reassess a few things now.
“Now that I won, I’m going to have to go back to the table. I’m probably going to play another 20 years.”

Bernard Tomic’s results this year so far

During the grass season, he picked up qualifying wins in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Wimbledon but failed to make the main draw at either.
