Little-known Latvian Ernests Gulbis sent top seed and world number three Novak Djokovic crashing out of the first round of the Brisbane International yesterday. Gulbis outplayed the inconsistent Djokovic to notch up a 6-4, 6-4 win in 90 minutes and open up the top half of the draw. Djokovic's woes were in stark contrast to the performance of second-seeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who cruised to a 6-2, 7-5 win over Agustin Calleri of Argentina. Djokovic, who defeated Tsonga in the final the Australian Open, never looked comfortable on the centre court of the new Queensland Tennis Centre.
