what a bore this tourney is without gulbis:
On how he likes playing a tournament in Rotterdam: ?I like that the marijuana here is legal. I?m for that. Unfortunately, tennis players cannot do that. We get checked every week. But I like the way of thinking.?
On rumours that he has travelled to tournaments in his father?s private jet (his father is one of the richest men in Latvia): ?Yes, and I have a helicopter, a submarine and a spaceship.
On how he felt bad about trashing rackets: ?I felt bad after going to the racket factory and seeing all the work they do. The rackets are hand-made, they do everything for the players, they really think about what the players need, and then an idiot like me comes along and breaks it.
? On spending a night in a Swedish jail in 2009 under suspicion of soliciting a prostitute: ?It was great fun, but I?m never going to go to Sweden again in my life. If you go out and meet some girls, and immediately you?re put in jail, that?s not normal.?
?When I meet a girl, I don?t ask her what her profession is. I don?t ask if she?s a hairdresser or something else. I just meet her. And she meets me. She maybe doesn?t ask what I?m doing. Anyway, if she does ask, I usually lie; I say that I do nothing or I?m a musician or something. Suddenly, the police come and take me to jail, so I spend the night in jail for nothing, really nothing. So I?m upset with the Swedish government.
?It was very funny. I think every person should go to jail once.?
Here?s how he described the encounter in another interview:
?I went out, met a girl, asked her to come to my room, and they came and arrested me. I spent eight hours in prison. There were a couple of problems. One is that I had to [use the bathroom] like crazy and they wouldn?t let me for two hours. The other was, well, I watch these American movies and you get a phone call. They said in Sweden, we don?t have this rule.
?t was nothing. They have many, many stupid rules, just like in your country [the United States].
? On playing doubles: ?I?ll tell you one big secret. Singles players don?t care about doubles. Doubles is for practice.?
On beating Roger Federer 2-6, 6-1, 7-5 at the 2010 Rome Masters, where he finally converted his seventh match point: ?Well, I s? my pants a little bit, excuse my language.?
joker/devvarman o 17 games +108 x 2
devvarman playing really well this year. went 20 games with del po in dubai. not the most talented but not a quitter...i'll take chances we can get a 63 63
tipsarevic +140 x 2...speaking of quitters...i think the lights gone on that if he doesn't wake up soon he's gonna plummet far..think he quarters this tourney
blake -167 x 4...fck it this is his last real shot to quarter a big tourney. playing well. like the line drop too....go go blake
