Troubled tennis star Bernard Tomic is embroiled in a new scandal involving cocaine and teenage girls.

Nine News has obtained details placing the 21-year-old at a Gold Coast penthouse where drugs were allegedly offered to two 16-year-old girls.

Four teenage girls claim that in February Tomic was at a Surfers Paradise penthouse owned by accused drug supplier and nightclub owner Jamie Pickering.

Nine News understands it's alleged Tomic took the teenage girls to a party at the penthouse where they were supplied with alcohol.

It is further alleged that at the party sat a pile of white powder on a kitchen bench with credit cards and $50 notes around it.

There is no suggestion Tomic took or supplied any drugs.

Pickering is currently on bail after being charged with supplying drugs to minors.

When confronted with the allegations following his early exit at the French Open, Tomic denied having any idea of the alleged incident.

"I really don't know what you're talking about – this very… I don't know what you're talking about," he told Nine News.

"In February? I live in Melbourne. How can I be on the Gold Coast? I don't know what you're talking about."

Tomic is not expected to face any charges but it is understood police are keen to speak to him when he returns to Australia.
