The 5th edition of the Nice Côte d’Azur Open concluded this afternoon, crowning Latvian Ernests Gulbis, the number 2 seed of the tournament. A well-deserved victory for a player who, though somewhat of a complainer, is enjoyable to watch play.
Facing young Argentine Federico Delbonis who defeated Gilles Simon in the semi-final, Gulbis managed to maintain his level of play throughout the week and remain very aggressive in his intentions to hinder his opponents.
A lover of the region where he often spends his vacations, he evidently feels comfortable in the southeast of France, having won 2 titles this year in Marseille and right here in Nice…
The Nice audience was once again able to enjoy the world’s best players present at the Nice Lawn Tennis Club and relish the atmosphere brought by high-level matches.
We are already looking forward to 2015…
