Australian tennis players Bernard Tomic and Omar Jasika have been involved in a controversial Challenger Tour doubles match against billionaire American hedge fund manager Bill Ackman.

“I guess when you’re worth $9.5 billion, tour players will treat you like a “Make-A-Wish” child in your ATP Challenger match. Bill Ackman is an absolute joke. Shame on the Tennis Hall of Fame, shame on the ATP Tour for allowing this man to buy a wildcard,” one fan wrote sharing a clip of Ackman.

Tennis fans have slammed US billionaire Bill Ackman for making a mockery of the sport after he and veteran Jack Sock were destroyed by Bernard Tomic and Omar Jasika in a professional match that looked more like a casual hit around with friends than one where prizemoney was on the line.

Former World No.1 Andy Roddick did not hold back when voicing his opinion on American billionaire Bill Ackman being granted a wildcard entry to play doubles at the 2025 Hall of Fame Open in Newport.
