Video emerged of the police officer ordering the pair from the court where they were practising because of incoming bad weather.

Bernard Tomic and Viktor Troicki were ordered off a practice court by a policeman in Washington, D.C., a video clip online showed.
Tomic was arrested a year ago in Miami on charges of resisting a police officer, which is a coincident because that is 100% what he is doing on the Citi Open practice court.
As the pair of tennis stars tried to argue their case and claim that they were content to stay out in the rain, they were quickly told to get lost.
The players eventually cleared the court, shuffling off in bemused fashion.
“There’s bad weather coming in”.
Johnson accounted for fellow-countryman Ryan Harrison in straight sets, sweeping through 6-4 6-4 in a little over an hour.

He then launched the ball skywards, calling Torella “the worst umpire ever in the world”. Surely it was not the best thing for the police-officer with two personalities like Tomic and Troicki who are not so calm. “Did you see the ball?”
