Tennis Australia has had to throw a lifeline to struggling national No. 1 Bernard Tomic, with his current 52nd ranking
World No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro is set to be the top seed in a packed field at Apia International Sydney 2014, comprised of five Top 25 contenders.
Andy Murray’s scheduled comeback tournament after back surgery, the exhibition Dream Cup on the Caribbean island of Barbados, has been cancelled due to financial problems and player withdrawals.
