Gulbis, Gasquet win 1st-round matches in Dubai
Eighth-seeded Ernests Gulbis beat German qualifier Michael Berrer 6-3, 6-4 Monday in the first round of the Dubai Championships.
The Latvian hit 10 aces and broke Berrer once in each set.
“It’s the first win after a long time for me, because I skipped Rotterdam because I was sick, and in Marseille I didn’t feel so well,” Gulbis said. “I came here a bit early, on Thursday, and practiced hard and good. So I reach some kind of condition which I’m able to play good tennis.”
Richard Gasquet also advanced, defeating Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-2, 6-4. Also, Florian Mayer beat Finnish veteran Jarkko Nieminen 6-4, 6-2 and Philipp Petzschner downed Andreas Seppi of Italy 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2.
Gasquet benefited from a slew of unforced errors by Dimitrov.
“I know he can miss some easy shots. That’s what he did at 4-all in the second set,” Gasquet said. “He missed four easy forehands.”
Top-seeded Roger Federer and second-seeded Novak Djokovic are scheduled to play Tuesday.
