Australia's six-time Grand Slam-winning great Roy Emerson has tipped Queensland youngster Bernard Tomic for stardom but urged the teenager to keep up the work on his game.
Tomic peaked this season with a Wimbledon quarterfinal, which gives observers of the Aussie's game hope for the future. He also put up a fight in a losing Davis Cup effort against Roger Federer in Davis Cup at Sydney last month.
"Federer said he was very difficult to read, where he was going with his shots. When someone like Federer makes a statement like that, it means Tomic has got a lot going for him," said "Emmo," who helped launch the 2012 Australian Open.
"But be patient, because there's a lot of pressure on him now. It remains to be seen if he has grown up enough right now to handle it.
"He's going to get stronger and he has got a chance, if he continues like he is, of winning (the Open), if not this year, next year. It may put a little more pressure on. But it's something you've got to overcome."
Tomic stands as the youngest player in the ATP Top 100 and is playing this week in Tokyo.
