Ernests Gulbis exits China Open after retiring against Martin Klizan

Ernests Gulbis is forced to retire from his second-round match against Martin Gilzan, putting his involvement in the men's doubles in doubt.

Ernests Gulbis has exited the China Open at the second-round stage after being forced to retire from his match against Martin Klizan.

The world number 13 made a slow start to the contest, losing serve on a couple of occasions in the opening set before being edged out 6-2.

The second set was heading in a similar direction with Klizan taking the first three games, although Gulbis was unable to continue, putting his doubles match later today in doubt as a result.

Gulbis was due to team up with Marcin Matkowski to take on Nocak Djokovic and Filip Krajinovic, although the Latvian pro is now unlikely to take part.
