Gulbis to be seeded 30th at next week's U.S. Open ''Grand Slam'' tournament

BC, Riga, 21.08.2013.Print version

Latvia's top ranked tennis player Ernests Gulbis will be seeded 30th at next week's U.S. Open ''Grand Slam'' tennis tournament, organizers have announced, reported LETA.


This means that Gulbis will not face any other seeded played in the tournament's first two rounds.

Gulbis is ranked 33rd in the ATP rankings at the moment, but earned a seeding in the tournament when several players above him in the rankings dropped out due to injury.


Gulbis has been seeded three times before in a ''Grand Slam'' tournament, but lost in the first-round all three times. The last time he was seeded at a ''Grand Slam'' tournament was at the 2011 Australian Open.


This will be Gulbis' seventh U.S. Open. His best achievement was in 2007, when he qualified for the tournament's fourth round. Last year, Gulbis dropped out in the second-round.

The tournament's draw will be held Thursday.
