I dont think Gulbis can keep up. He needs to stay away from tie breaks. He has a decent return when he is not going for all out winners, he should use it more and then attack, on the second shot.

So far:

29 Winners 15
16 Unforced errors 11
50 Total points won 50
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

Just watching Oliver Golding, what does everyone think of this guy? Win a futures this year I think, watched him first in junior wimby in 2010. Currently 6-1 6-7 against andreev. I think he has a decent and quite tidy game, has a few weapons and can hit a nice volley. Britain sure could use another top 100 player too!

Nice package, but not enough talent to really challenge the Masters or Slams. Need to see more of him though, a few games here and there is not enough.

Adreev sucks on grass btw.

I think the yin and yang dampener he is using on his racquet as to do with him keeping his cool. it must have a calming effect on him :lol:

if gulbis can hold off berdych then there should be no reason for djokovic not to be in the semis. don't really see anyone else on his side that can do him any damage

Well, Gulbis have won Djokovic before :D and no way Nole is going to handle his 131mph second serves, he is no Rafa 8)

ill give you that, if gulbis keeps making those 120+mph bombs on second serves then that will give him a shot vs anybody


ohhh gulbis almost had it on his 3rd match point when berdych challenged it and it was barely out. come on gulbis!!

gulbis might start crushing some racquets if he doesn't pull this set out after losing 3 match points

and isner bows out to falla in 5 sets. did not see that upset coming, but isner was serving under 100mph first serves at the end of the match. might have been injured????
