Encyclopedic overview

Ernests Gulbis ( Latvian pronunciation: [ˈærnests ˈɡulbis], born 30 August 1988) is a Latvian former professional tennis player. He was ranked world No. 10 by the Association of Tennis Professionals in June 2014, making him the only Latvian men's tennis player to be ranked inside the top 10. Gulbis won six ATP Tour singles titles and two in doubles. His best performance at the majors was reaching the semifinals of the 2014 French Open, as well as the quarterfinals of the 2008 French Open.

Gulbis was coached by Karl Heinz Wetter, and subsequently by Nikola Pilić, the former professional Croatian tennis player and Croatian and German Davis Cup captain. Afterwards, he was coached by Hernán Gumy (who before that was Marat Safin's coach), but their partnership ended due to Gumy's schedule; during that time, Darren Cahill served as Gulbis' consultant for several tournaments. He was then coached by Guillermo Cañas, and after Wimbledon 2011, by Günter Bresnik, until his departure before the 2016 French Open. From September 2022 to August 2025, Gulbis was the president of the Latvian Tennis Union, and during that time ended his career as a professional tennis player.
