After Bernard Tomic struggled to a 7-5, 6-3, 6-3 win over South Korean Min-Hyeok Cho in a Davis Cup zonal match in Brisbane, Australian Davis Cup captain Patrick Rafter said that his young player has to learn to focus against lower-ranked opponents. "We spoke about this all week, we knew this was going to be the situation," Rafter told reporters. "But he got on the court and he got himself in that state again, and that's something that Bernie has to get over, as simple as that. If he wants to develop, he has to learn to treat people with respect, all these guys. This guy [Cho] did well, he competed well … I know he's had a ranking before, he can play the game, and he takes it to Bernie, and it's great to see that. So Bernie's gotta learn, and the quicker he learns it, the quicker he'll develop."
