Ernests Gulbis d. 2 Ivo Karlovic - 62 63
Gulbis never dropped a set all week & rises 27 spots to #45.
Two weeks ago he was #99 - two weeks of good results and boom!
He is the 1st Latvian to win an ATP title.
Of that he said, "Everything what I do now is first time for my country. Of course it's great. I hope it's positive. I hope much more players will start to practise in Latvia. It's good for tennis in Latvia. They see that a guy from Latvia also can make it and win an ATP World Tour event."
