Bernard Tomic will head to the Australian Open without any match practice after a last-minute withdrawal from the Murray River Open.
Withdrawing just hours before he was scheduled to step onto Margaret Court Arena for his first round clash with Aussie Marc Polmans, Tomic told Melbourne Summer Series officials he would not be competing.
He is reported to have pulled out with a knee injury.
His withdrawal has raised eyebrows further after he was scheduled to face Nick Kyrgios in the second round.
