Former Top-20 player Bernard Tomic is all set to begin his campaign at the 2025 Jianan Open against fourth-seeded Dalibor Svrcina in the first round.

2025 has not been a great year for Tomic on the main Tour, as the Australian player could qualify for the main draw at the Mallorca Championships. He won his first-round match against Rinki Hijikata, but lost against Roberto Bautista Agut in the next round. He could not qualify for any of the main draws at the Majors, and his last event was the Shanghai Masters, where he lost 6-4, 3-6, 1-6 against Nikoloz Basilashvili in the first round of qualifying.

Tomic's success in 2025 has come on the Challenger Tour, as he reached two Challenger finals in Lexington and Barranquilla. He lost against Zachary Svajda in Lexington and had to retire from his final against Arthur Ferry in Barranquilla. He also reached two more Challenger semifinals in Nottingham and Shanghai, and had five more quarterfinal finishes.

Dalibor Svrcina's best result in 2025 was reaching the quarterfinal at the Hangzhou Open as a lucky loser, getting knocked out by Alexander Bublik. In his last event was the Shanghai Masters, Svrcina qualified for the main draw and won his first-round match against Wu Yibing via retirement, before losing 1-6, 1-6 against Daniil Medvedev in the next round.

Svrcina has been in great form on the Challenger Tour, winning three titles in Pune, Barletta, and Cancun. He also had a runner-up finish at the Poznan Challenger, losing against Filip Misolic, and reached three other semifinals in Chennai, Naples, and Monza.

Before putting out any information in the public domain, Sagnik makes sure that every element of his content is well-researched and backed with credible data so that there is no misinterpretation of facts or quotes and ethical standards are maintained. To do so, Sagnik follows reputed websites like the Tennis Channel and Tennis TV, and renowned journalists on social media.

He is a fan of former player Roger Federer, and just like his favorite player, Sagnik likes to bring perfection to his write-ups by providing concise and on-point content. Speaking of the ‘GOAT’ debate, Sagnik believes that it is a bit unfair to compare the legends of the game from different eras who have played on different terms. But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
