Last time I was at IW, in 2011, Isner's gf was in his box (and they were pretty new back then) and I watched a couple people in between sets walk over and ask her for an autograph....WHY???

Wind 16 mph out there with gust up to 26.

I heard the commentator (not Robbie) say she was in design school in NY. Maybe she designed something famous that we're in the dark about.

Ernie to serve for the set at 5-4

Parsons School of Design. Excellent school.

Ern a little tight?? Double break point.

 

[kskate2]

0-30 becomes 15-40. 2 SP's for John

 

[Denis]

[Front242]

Very, very poor from Gulbis

hehe not so fast kskate, ernie was up a break.

 

[kskate2]

Ernie dumps serve and we're all even at 5

 

[Front242]

Good challenge. Looked well out to me when first played in real time.

 

[kskate2]

Yeah, sorry Denis. Was thinking BP, but typed SP

 

[golds girl]

Does Gulbis strike you as the type who used to argue with his nannies, housekeepers, chauffeurs etc. growing up?

 

[Denis]

Man, this sucks, hope Ernie gets into the breaker at least.

Of course. Dad probably wasn't around. He had to show those tantrums to someone.

Koenig was saying earlier that Gulbis is extremely polite off the court. That when you come to his table he stands up to greet you, unlike a lot of other young players that are completely self-absorbed. His words.

sweet volley

Here's where we learn what the New Gulbis is made of.

The guy has character, so I can still see him arguing with his nanny at age 4.
