Smashing Gulbis Smeared by Monfils
There were one too many unforced errors for Latvia’s
Ernests Gulbis
on Tuesday during his tilt with
Gael Monfils
at the ABN Amro. After falling behind by a set and a break he finally broke—literally—and smashed his frame maniacally into the hard court. It’s not the first time Gulbis has wrecked a frame, and it won’t be the last.
Odds and Sods:
Bet on Baby Murray? More Gambling Mess
If it was meant as a motivational tactic, it didn’t work for Gulbis. Monfils went on to take the 6-4, 6-4 victory. But at least Gulbis was nice enough to give the smashed frame to a fan. No, it’s not a playable racquet, but it does make for a quirky souvenir for a die-hard tennis enthusiast.
Gulbis’ record drops to a dismal 12-26 since the beginning of 2016; he’s 1-3 on the season thus far.
Monfils moves on to face
Borna Coric
in the second round.
In other action in Rotterdam, 19-year-old Hyeon Chung made waves by upsetting
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4, while
Marcos Baghdatis
upset No. 4 seed
David Goffin
, 6-1, 5-7, 7-6(5).
Philipp Kohlschreiber
defeated Julien Benneteau, 6-4, 6-4, while
Gilles Muller
knocked off Andreas Seppi, 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-4.
