He is the mover of the week with 42 places up on ATP page: now 67

And the very last wild card was given yesterday to Jack Sock...a pity according to some pro journalists that I talked to about Ernests' case.

The only possibility for him, we taught, is if Nadal would withdraw and open the space...but no, Rafa confirmed his presence yesterday.

So we shall see how he could recuperate in 1 day, travelling included, but in an interview, he said he was exhausted.

If he loses in Q, let's hope nobody would fall on his back about his consistency.

Very few players won a tourney coming from qualies.

It is an exploit by itself.

im kind of surprised he didnt pull out of qualies for indian wells. i am not sure a day of rest is enough to recover

all i know is that if they get on him about losing in qualies in the GM i wont be happy

That's a shame he didn't got a WC. Indian Wells organizers suck big time. They knew he was playing the final in Delray Beach, they could've been more flexible with their decisions. Now they kinda ruined it for him. Besides, usually a winner should get an entry to the MD of the next event. But let's see how it goes...

Yeah you're rigth , but that wild card earlier was given to Nalbandian,but someone pulled and he got MD spot, and that wild card was given to Jack...Shame they should give that wild card to Ernie, but I assume that American players have the advantage.

Some news here

Austrian coach Gunter Bresnik, who worked with Boris Becker in his prime, is the man behind Gulbis' resurgence.

"His father came to me last April and asked me to help him," Bresnik said. "I said, 'Only if he comes here to Vienna and is prepared to work.' He did. He cut out the drinking and the smoking and the night life and now you see what he can achieve. He has so much talent anything is possible."

and from here

"I feel really good about it and I just talked to my coach (Gunther Bresnik) and he's happy, I'm happy, everybody is happy," said Gulbis, who has been ranked as high as No. 21 in February 2011. "We didn't think that it was going to happen so fast.

"My coach thought I wouldn't go back into the top 100 until around April."
