Latvia's Ernests Gulbis weighs in on his recent poor form on the ATP circuit.
Ernests Gulbis has not passed a third round since his Sydney semi-final four months ago and with the one-year anniversary of one of his best career performances approaching in Rome next month, the Latvian has confessed that he sometimes doubts his choice of tennis.
"I've been thinking a lot about it in the last couple of months," he told London's Independent. "On one side I don't like it. I don't like the travelling. I don't like the attention, all the pressure.
"But on the other side I'm thinking, 'What else would I do?' I'm 22. Would I go to college, would I stay at home and do nothing, would I think about how to make some money, or would I live on my parents' money? But no, I've decided I would prefer to play tennis. I still enjoy competing."
Gulbis produced the win of his life at the Foro Italico with his second-round upset of Roger Federer, but then lost to the Swiss a week later in Madrid before exiting in the French Open first round. His form then took a further dip through to the end of 2010 with only a pair of quarter-finals to show.
Gulbis has had only two matches on clay this spring, beating Alexandr Dolgopolov in Monte Carlo before losing to Canadian Milos Raonic.
