Sara Tomic (/ˈtɒmɪk/; Croatian: Sara Tomić, pronounced [sǎːra tômitɕ, - tǒː-]; born 5 February 1998) is an Australian former tennis player. She is the younger sister of tennis player Bernard Tomic.
In June 2015, she won her first professional-level title in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
Tomic was born in Gold Coast, Queensland, and made her senior Grand Slam debut at the 2015 Australian Open, in the doubles event partnering Naiktha Bains.
Career
2014
Tomic mainly played on the ITF Junior Circuit. She was given wildcards into the Sydney International, Australian Open and Burnie International where she lost in first rounds. In the junior events, she won a Grade-4 event in Kawana and a Grade-B2 event in Lautoka, Fiji. She was also runner-up in a Grade 3 in Beijing and a Grade 4 in Burleigh Waters. She won two doubles titles partnering Xu Shilin including the Grade-A Osaka Mayor's Cup and a Grade B1 in Seogwipo.
2015
Tomic had received wildcards into the Sydney International losing to Alexandra Dulgheru in the first round. She was then awarded another qualifying and doubles wildcard into the Australian Open where she lost to Ekaterina Bychkova, in three sets in the first round. In the doubles event, she partnered Naiktha Bains; they lost to Anastasia Rodionova and Arina Rodionova in the first round. At the junior Australian Open, Tomic reached the third round before she lost to the eventual champion Tereza Mihalíková, and she also reached the semifinals of the doubles event, partnering Xu Shilin.
Tomic then decided to focus on the pro circuit instead, winning her first title at Sharm El Sheikh in July, and boosting her ranking into the top 500.

Her parents, Bosnian Croat father (from Tuzla), John (Ivica) and Bosnian mother, Adisa (from Brčko), left Socialist Yugoslavia in 1992.
