FOOTAGE has emerged of Australian Bernard Tomic and fellow tennis star Viktor Troicki being forced off a court by a police officer in Washington.

In the video posted on social media, the officer is seen walking across the court the duo are practising on while Tomic and the Serbian continue to hit.

He repeatedly asks them to “knock it off now” and leave the court due to incoming bad weather, but meets resistance when the pair point out it is not yet raining.

They argue for approximately a minute, while Tomic becomes agitated with the official after he was told it didn’t matter if it wasn’t raining at the time.

“Why are you getting so close to me,” the frustrated Australian asked.

The pair both appear to leave the court eventually, still somewhat bemused at the situation.
