Ernests Gulbis, a rising star?

Now that the US Open draw is lined up to the fourth round, it’s maybe time to start wondering who this Ernests Gulbis is. 19 years old, from Latvia, he progressed to the last 16 without dropping a set and destroying n.8 seed Tommy Robredo.

Searching in his ATP profile I found out that he is not a complete unknown. In 2007 he is the winner of two challengers back-to-back in Besancon and Sarajevo. And he beat Tim Henman in straight sets at the French Open.

Here’s the last game of that match in a Youtube video
