Media and players urge Tomic to dump dad

Aussie star's father-coach accused of head-butting son's practice partner

Australian media and former players on Tuesday urged the country's top-ranked tennis star Bernard Tomic to dump his father as coach after he was accused of head-butting his son's training partner.

John Tomic denied a charge of assault in a Spanish court on Monday against Thomas Drouet during a brawl outside a hotel on Saturday where players in the Madrid Masters were staying.
