Latvia's Ernests Gulbis spent nearly three hours on court dispatching Germany's Rainer Schuettler in his second-round match on Wednesday.
Ernests Gulbis spent most of his Bangkok opener struggling off the baseline. The Latvian spent the first two sets with his serve keeping him in the match.
Schuettler for his part played well as the first and second sets dragged on with no service breaks. Gulbis grabbed the first set in the tiebreaker, but he had six chances to get the break. That he didn't only seemed to add to his frustration in his groundstrokes.
With the second set playing out just like the first, Gulbis' temper finally broke in the middle-frame tiebreaker. The Latvian, who had already been warned for bad behavior, sent a ball up into the stands and earned himself a point penalty. The loss of temper eventually cost him the set.
After two sets of no service breaks, the third featured three in the first three games. It was Gulbis who managed to finally hold serve to consolidate the break. The single service break lead was enough to give the Latvian the second-round win.
