Bernard Tomic will not tolerate infestation.

When bugs descended on the Brisbane court, Tomic lent a helping foot to the grounds crew using sweepers and towels to try to thwart the invasion.

Watch Tomic punctuate an ace by booting a bug away from his personal space.

The insect invasion did not stop Tomic from swatting 19 aces to defeat nemesis Radek Stepanek for the first time, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 7-6 (4), in a two hour, 37-minute thriller.




The seventh-seeded Australian will face second-seeded Kei Nishikori in the quarterfinals. Nishikori swept Tomic, 6-0, 6-4, in the 2015 Brisbane quarterfinals.
