London, June 29(ANI): Former Australian tennis star Patrick Rafter has backed teenager Bernard Tomic to dump World No.2 Novak Djokovic out of Wimbledon today.
The 18-year-old Australian has knocked out 29th seed Nikolay Davydenko and fifth seed Robin Soderling to reach the quarterfinal.
"Bernard keeps surprising me. He has had a few matches I didn't think he was really ready for, but he has been very successful," The Sun quoted Rafter, as saying.
"He is a kid you never write off and I give him a very good chance. Nothing would surprise me," he added.
Only Boris Becker, John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg have made the last eight at a younger age than Tomic.
He is also the first qualifier since Vladimir Voltchkov in 2000 to reach this stage. (ANI)
