Tomic out of San Jose for personal reasons

Australian teenager Bernard Tomic pulls out of the SAP Open (Feb. 13-19) in San Jose, California for personal reasons. The 19-year-old has a court date on February 14 in Queensland to fight traffic violations related to use of his sports car. The tournament had cited a leg injury for the pullout, but ATP Player Relations was told that he used one of his two personal exemptions for ATP 250 tournaments, and he will not be fined for the withdrawal.

Sam Querrey and Mikhail Kukushkin will replace them in the main draw.—MC
