Tennis Star Drops $557,000 In French Open Winnings Playing Blackjack At A CasinoErnests Gulbis Goes Total Degen After Exit From French Open |
|
Tennis player Ernests Gulbis, who recently made the semifinals of the French Open, said that he was so tilted by his exit out of the event that he went to a Latvian casino and lost all of his $557,000 in prize money.
It’s probably OK, though. The 25-year-old Gulbis is the son of a billionaire.
“After losing to Djokovic, I returned to Latvia with my cousin and I went to the Casino,” Gulbis told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I bet all prize money won in Paris and I lost it.”
The game he lost all the money at was blackjack.
The losses are staggering, but they probably aren’t as embarrassing and terrible for him as his comments about female tennis players. According to BusinessInsider, he recently said that female players should focus more on having kids than winning titles.
