Gulbis (ATP 324) defeated Jutan Charoenphon, who is not currently in the ATP rank, with a result of 6-4, 6-2.
The Latvian tennis player played convincingly in both sets, even leading 5-1 in the second.
It has already been reported that Robert Strombach (ATP 742) defeated Casidita Samrei (ATP 1302) with a score of 7-6 (7: 4), 3-6, 6-4.
Three matches are scheduled for Saturday. The first will be a doubles in which Swan / Strombah will face Prucjay Isaro and Thantubam Suksumrarn (ATP 1777).
In the second game of the day, Gulbis will fight Samreja, but in the final match, Strombah will play a match against Charoenphon.
Gulbis is the captain of the Latvian national team in these fights, whose duties in previous Davis Cup performances were performed by Deniss Pavlovs. Pavlov cannot enter Thailand after catching Covid-19.
Reinis Kupfers and Gustavs Dambiņš, who are not in the ATP rank, are also included in the Latvian team.
In September, Latvian tennis players conceded to Turkey in the duel of the second group of the world with 0-4, so in March they have to participate in the “play-off” round to keep their place in this group.
The Davis Cup is the main tennis competition for men’s teams, organized by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) since 1900. Originally organized as a competition between the US and British national teams, it is now the largest annual international team competition. The Latvian national team has been participating in this tournament since 1993.
