Ernests Gulbis causes a shock during round one at Wimbledon by knocking out world number seven Tomas Berdych.

World number seven Tomas Berdych has been knocked out of Wimbledon by Ernests Gulbis in what has been the biggest shock of the opening day at SW19.

In a match of very few breaks of serve, Latvia's Gulbis emerged victorious from three successive tie-breakers.

The first two Gulbis took control of early on with a mini-break before going on to win 7-5 7-4 respectively.

It looked as though number six seed Berdych was going to force a fourth set when he claimed the break in third breaker to open up a 4-3 advantage.

However, Gulbis responded to win the next four points to book his place in round two of the competition.

Berdych is a former Wimbledon finalist from 2010.
