Hello Riga, this is Stockholm calling

Multiple withdrawals from the If Stockholm Open field have catapulted Ernests into the main draw of the ATP 250 event.

Two steps forward, one step back in Asia

Ernests displayed some of his best tennis of the season during the current Asian swing of hard court tournaments, after he reached his first quarterfinal in over a year in Tokyo and stretched the top-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to three tiebreak sets in Bangkok, despite a minor blip in his baffling loss to Fabio Fognini in Shanghai.

Hope floats in Bangkok

So close, yet so far.

That is the most apt sentiment to describe Ernests’ chillingly close loss to the Thailand Open top seed, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in the second round of the Bangkok tournament today.

The withdrawal of Julien Benneteau from next week’s Thailand Open has catapulted Ernests into the main draw of the ATP 250 event, where he originally planned to play qualifying.

Gumy to guide Gulbis

Ernests has announced in a press conference in Latvia that he is currently training with former Argentine pro, Hernan Gumy.

More hard times in New York Town

Ernests returned under the dazzling lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium today only to suffer another heartbreaking defeat to the US Open second seed, Andy Murray.

He stood toe-to-toe with Murray for most of the match, but unfortunately was second best on many of the important points.
