Ernests Gulbis

Insights

Peak came in 2014 with a French Open semifinal

Gulbis’s best Grand Slam result is the 2014 French Open semifinal at age 25. That stands out as his only semifinal, alongside one quarterfinal and three round-of-16 finishes across 45 tournaments.

His strongest season was concentrated in 2014

In 2014 he reached at least the fourth round at all four majors: R64 at the Australian Open, R64 at Wimbledon, R64 at the US Open, and the semifinal at Roland Garros. No other year in the table shows that level of across-the-board consistency.

Early breakthrough at 18 was followed by a long gap

He reached the round of 16 at the 2007 US Open at age 18, but did not match that depth again until the 2014 French Open. Between those two results, his Grand Slam finishes were mostly R64 or earlier.

Best results were heavily clay-leaning

His deepest runs include the 2014 French Open semifinal, the 2016 French Open round of 16, and the 2013 French Open round of 64. By contrast, his Wimbledon and Australian Open records top out at R16 and R64 respectively.

Career ended with a sharp drop from his earlier level

After the 2018 Wimbledon round of 16, his next five Grand Slam appearances all ended in the first two rounds: three R128 exits in 2019, then R32 at the 2020 Australian Open. That marks a clear late-career decline from his mid-2010s peak.
