Tennis Week Interview: Bernard Tomic
By Richard Pagliaro
Tomic became the first junior boy in history to claim three Orange Bowl crowns in three different age groups: he won the boys' 12s title in 2004 and the boys' 14s title in 2006.

The 23rd-ranked Tomic, who celebrated his 15th birthday on October 21, is the youngest boy ranked inside the top 25 of the International Tennis Federation's Junior rankings.

"He's very talented, there's no question about that," Australian Hall of Famer and television analyst Fred Stolle told Tennis Week. "The question is maturity and how will he mature as he grows?"

The  Australian boys’ team, led by 16-year-old Mark Verryth and the then 14-year-old prodigy Tomic, defeated traditional clay-court power Argentina, 2-0, in the junior Davis Cup final.

"[My goal] is to be number one in the world. I know it's going to be a very tough journey, but I'm committed to try and reach this goal," Tomic says. "Got to reach for the stars right?"
