Gulbis showed some very impressive stuff since Rotterdam, but he's been playing quite a lot and might feel tiredness coming right into his legs once he'll pass the qualifiers of both masters...

That Roger Vasselin sure looked like a slippery opponent to get past.

Favourite after the 'Big 4'? Is this the definition of madness? :D

Damn i'd love to see Gulbis back at a consistent level, he's some kind of fresh air on the ATP tour ! And what if he was the new guy breaking top 10/15 much sooner than all the Tomic, Dimitrov, Harrison...? ^^

3rd round of Indian Wells: Nadal-Mayer, and Seppi-Gulbis. It's more than probably that we will see a 4th round match between Gulbis and Nadal :D

Can't take much from this match. Tipsarevic has been playing some awful tennis.

Either way, he is a top 10 player and a rather consistent baseliner with Good serve. I saw the match, and if anything, I think he got completely stunned. Had zero answers to what Gulbis had to offer.

He lost mainly cause his first serve got completely neutralized, not even that, it got destroyed. And his game kinda evolves around his serve. Check these stats out:

Gulbis | Tipsy
1st Serve % 68% | 79%
1st Serve Points Won 21/27 (78%) | 10/27 (37%)
2nd Serve Points Won 9/13 (69%) | 4/7 (57%)
Break Points Saved 3/3 (100%) | 3/8 (38%)
