(Reuters) - Bernard Tomic has faced a barrage of criticism from former players after the 24-year-old Australian said he faced "mental issues" and was bored during his lacklustre loss to Mischa Zverev in the first round at Wimbledon on Tuesday.

Tomic was touted as a future major champion in his homeland after winning a slew of boy's titles, including junior grand slam triumphs at the Australian and U.S. Opens, but his career has stalled and he remains without a title since 2015.
