GoogleGulbis: "Nedomāju, ka būs tik viegli"
@AndrejsSilins
Pēc šorīt aizvadītās "US Open" Grand Slam tenisa turnīra spēles pret Tomiju Robredo iespaidos par uzvaru dalījies Latvijas tenisists Ernests Gulbis.
"Es nebiju domājis, ka uzvara nāks tik viegli," ar smaidu uz lūpām sacījusi Latvijas spožākā tenisa zvaigzne. "Nelielu spiedienu sajutu trešajā setā pie rezultāta 3:0. Ja tu nespēj pielikt punktu šādā brīdī, pasaules ranga pirmā desmitnieka spēlētāji var sagriezt visu kājām gaisā un atgūties."

More on Gulbis, or Baby Djok
By Kathleen McElroy
Let us officially christen Ernests Gulbis the new “Baby Fed.” Or better yet “Baby Djok” with whom he has practiced. Gulbis, a 6-3 Latvian who turned 19 last week, made eighth-seeded Tommy Robredo look like the rookie in a Grandstand “day” match that began just before 10 p.m. The final score was 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 and it wasn’t that close.
Robredo told a group of Spanish journalists that he felt as hopeless as he looked, while Gulbis was quietly confident about his performance and his future. As for as the late start, neither player said it affected him. Gulbis got here at 1 p.m. and waited and waited, playing cards with his father. When they got on court, he said, “The first set just passed by quickly.” The second set was most important, he said, because he stayed in control.
When Gulbis continued to hit winner after winner, the Grandstand crowd began chanting “Ernie, Ernie.” The baby-faced player is a Latvian who is 88th in the world and now the youngest and lowest-ranked player in the men’s draw. Richard Gasquet may also have a one-handed backhand like Federer’s and may be the current “Baby Fed,” but he could have competition for that nickname. (By the way, C.S. comments below that Gulbis is more a “Baby Safin.” I can see that, too.)
He next faces 31-year-old Carlos Moya, who played five tough, emotional sets to advance. “We don’t play tomorrow?” Gulbis said jokingly. “Too bad.” He appears well-adjusted and gets his high school diploma later this month in Latvia. He said he learned to speak English when he was 6 years old in London with his mother, a former actress. He also said watching cartoons helped. He also speaks Russian and a little German — “I’m too lazy to learn it.” [There will be a full recount of the interview Monday morning. Wait, it’s already Monday morning].
Or maybe Gulbis should face Robredo every night in a match that starts seven hours later than it could have. As they did on Armstrong, five-setters extended the day session way past bedtime.
Gulbis averaged 129 miles on his first serve. He won 18 of 19 points at the net. He had 36 winners to Robredo’s 7. The fact that Gulbis had also had 32 unforced errors shows how much he controlled the match. Robredo went 0-for-3 on break points. He displayed a killer forehand, a two-handed backhand down the line that wouldn’t stop and a useful drop shot (which Federer is still perfecting). And he handled the late hour and the small but boisterous crowd situation with aplomb — no screaming, no fist-pumping, no Latvian equivalents of “C’mon!” as if he plays like this all the time. When asked how he stayed so calm, he shrugged. We’ll get a better idea when he faces Moya, a more composed veteran than Robredo, in the next round.
He had Robredo so rattled at 2-5 in the third set that the 25-year-old Spaniard missed an overhead that he would normally put away. At match point, Gulbis smoked a two-handed backhand crosscourt.
Gulbis, who is being coached by Niki Pilic, the former Davis Cup coach for Germany and Croatia and the man who coached Djokovic as a youngster. In fact, Djokovic and Gulbis were at Pilic’s tennis academy in Munich at the same time, but Djokovic was older and better, Gulbis said.
Pilic told Gulbis not to play juniors. If you want to be a pro, Gulbis recalled him saying, you have to play the pros. “If you’ve got the game,” Gulbis added.
Well, tonight, kid, you did.

Rovredo: Ja Gulbis spēlēs tā, kā pret mani, es jūtu līdzi Mojam
Spānijas tenisists Tomijs Rovredo, kuru ASV atklātā tenisa čempionāta trešās kārtas spēlē svētdien pārliecinoši pieveica latvietis Ernests Gulbis, intervijā laikrakstam "Marca" atzina, ka Latvijas tenisists maču pret viņu nospēlējis ļoti labi. Es jau sen neesmu redzējis, ka kāds tā spēlētu. Tā bija spēle, no kuras var mācīties un analizēt," Rovredo slavēja Latvijas tenisista sniegumu. "Tomēr viņš vēl ir jauns, un tāpēc nezinu, vai vienmēr tā spēlēs."
Jautāts par padomu došanu savam tautietim Mojam, Rovredo nezināja, kā apspēlēt latvieti. "Acumirkli, es neesmu tas, kurš varētu dot padomus, bet, ja viņš tā spēlēs, man ir žēl Karlosa. Es neredzu, kā viņam palīdzēt."
