During his junior career he won three titles (in Bolivia in 2002 and Argentina and Portugal in 2003) and reached three other finals (twice in Portugal in 2002 and once in Brazil in 2003). In his last junior tournament he reached the quarterfinals at the Orange Bowl, which led him to finish at no. 10 in the world junior rankings in 2003.[3]

Career

2003–2007

Gil turned professional in 2003 and spent several years on the Futures and Challenger circuits. Until his ATP debut in May 2006, at the Estoril Open, he had won five singles and two doubles Futures titles. He entered Estoril as a wildcard and reached the quarterfinals, surprisingly defeating fifth seed and no. 33 Dmitry Tursunov 4–6, 6–4, 6–1 along the way, before losing to eventual champion and first seed and no. 4 David Nalbandian 6–1, 6–2. He then captured his first Challenger title in June, at Sassuolo.

The year 2007 proved to be equally successful, as Gil qualified for the Casablanca Open in April. However, he lost to no. 39 Julien Benneteau 7–6(2), 2–6, 7–6(5) in the first round. He later reached the second round at Estoril the following week, losing to no. 15 Richard Gasquet 6–1, 6–2, but finally won the Seville Challenger in September.

2008

In April, Gil added more success to his career by again reaching the quarterfinals at Estoril, before losing to world no. 1 and eventual champion Roger Federer 6–4, 6–1. After winning his first Challenger doubles title, in May at Marrakech, he qualified for the first time to a Grand Slam tournament, the French Open, but lost in the first round against no. 145 Jérémy Chardy 6–3, 6–2, 7–6(1). After taking the Sassuolo Challenger title for a second time, he successfully qualified to the Wimbledon Championships. In the singles, he lost once again to Chardy 7–5, 6–7(1), 4–6, 6–4, 6–3 in the first round, and in the doubles he reached the second round partnering with Dick Norman. Adding the Turin Challenger doubles title and the Istanbul Challenger singles title that summer to his curriculum, he entered the top-100 ranking for the first time, becoming only the second Portuguese player to do so, after the 86th place of Nuno Marques in 1995. Gil was then able to enter automatically at the US Open, however he would play and lose a third time with Chardy 3–6, 6–3, 6–2, 6–3 in the first round.

2009

Skipping the first Grand Slam of the year, Gil made his season's debut in February, at the inaugural Johannesburg tournament. He reached the semifinals at the hard-court event, before losing to eventual champion and first seed and no. 14 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6–3, 6–4. In doing this, Gil was the second Portuguese player to reach the semifinals of an ATP tournament, after his coach João Cunha Silva (in 1992 at Tel-Aviv). The following week, in a different continent and in a different surface (clay), he repeated the feat. At the Brasil Open, in Costa do Sauípe, he upset the defending champion and top seed and no. 18 Nicolás Almagro in two tiebreak sets, 7–6(5), 7–6(4), but ended up losing in the semifinals to home player no. 84 Thomaz Bellucci in two tiebreak sets, 6–7(3), 6–7(4). After this, he broke the previous Portuguese singles ranking record by reaching the 83rd position at the ATP rankings table.

In March, as world no. 74, Gil surpassed the qualifying round in Miami, his first ATP Masters 1000 event. He defeated no. 77 Mischa Zverev 7–6(7), 6–2, and no. 27 Ivo Karlović 6–4, 6–4, in the first two rounds, respectively. The draw placed Gil in the path of the first seed and world number one Rafael Nadal. After closing a hard-fought first set in his favor, Nadal replied to a 2–0 game advantage for Gil with a sequence of service breaks and ended up winning the match by 7–5, 6–3. On April 6, he rose to the 70th place of the revised ATP Tour ranking.

In April, competing in Casablanca, Gil reached the quarterfinals of an ATP 250 Series event for the third time this year, where he was defeated 7–6(5), 6–4 by Albert Montañés, ranked 35th. He then qualified to the Barcelona Open and after getting past no. 63 Yen-hsun Lu 6–2, 6–1 in the first round, he again faced and lost to no. 1 Rafael Nadal 6–2, 6–2.

In May, in Estoril, as the first Portuguese player to enter directly the main round via ranking, he lost in the first round to fourth seed and eventual finalist and no. 16 James Blake by 5–7, 6–4, 6–2. He then played second seed and no. 26 Jürgen Melzer in the first round of the Kitzbühel Open, losing 6–3, 6–0. At the French Open, he lost in the first round to no. 14 David Ferrer 6–2, 6–4, 6–4. After an early exit from the Czech Open at the hands of no. 113 Daniel Gimeno-Traver 6–3, 6–3, Gil defeated the Spanish player in the first round of the Queen's Club 6–1, 6–3; in the second round, former world no. 1 and four-time Queen's Club champion and no. 49 Lleyton Hewitt recovered from a first-set loss to defeat Gil by 3–6, 6–2, 6–2.

At Wimbledon, he faced no. 38 Paul-Henri Mathieu in the first round and lost 6–1, 2–6, 6–4, 6–2.

Gil then lost in the first round in Bucharest. In late September, Gil participated in the Tennislife Cup Challenger event, in Napoli, as the world's number 100. He reached the singles final, where he defeated home player Potito Starace (86th) by 2–6, 6–1, 6–4, to win his first tournament of 2009—more than a year after his last in the 2008 Istambul Challenger and his fifth career ATP Challenger Tour title. Hours later, he would also win the doubles title, partnering with Ivan Dodig. On October 5, Gil climbed back to the 83rd rank. Gil closed the year as the world no. 69th with a second round effort in Vienna and qualifying losses in Basel and Paris.

The following week, after successfully qualifying to the main draw in Sydney, Gil again faced no. 62 Potito Starace in the first round, losing 6–1, 6–4. At the Australian Open, he retired in the first round after trailing 6–0, 6–0, 2–0 to no. 18 David Ferrer. His poor run of form continued throughout the first part of the season with successive early round exits at Costa do Sauípe, Buenos Aires, Acapulco and Indian Wells. By the end of March, Gil had fallen off the top-100 and began playing in the tour's qualifying draws, most notably in Casablanca, where he lost 6–2, 7–6(1) to no. 212 Martin Kližan in the third qualifying round, an event where he had reached the quarterfinals in the previous year. Not getting past the qualifying rounds of both Miami and Monte-Carlo's Masters, Gil finally reached a good result at the Tunis Challenger, where he lost only in the semifinal to 89th-ranked Daniel Brands by 6–7(6), 1–6.

Gil was initially entering the Estoril Open as a wildcard, in virtue of his low ranking, but he eventually qualified directly, for the second time, because of pre-tournament drop-outs by seeded players such as Nikolay Davydenko and Ivan Ljubičić. Gil achieved his career's best result by becoming the first Portuguese player to reach an ATP World Tour final. He paved his way to the last match by defeating better ranked players: Florian Mayer (49th; 6–2, 6–7(5), 6–3), Santiago Giraldo (61st; 6–4, 6–4), Rui Machado (114th; 4–6, 7–6(1), 6–3), and Guillermo García López (40th; 6–2, 5–7, 6–3). In the final, Gil met defending champion and fourth-seed and no. 34 Albert Montañés who had eliminated first-seed and world no. 1 Roger Federer in two sets. The Spanish won the first set, 6–2, and had two match points in the second, but Gil recovered and closed the set in his favour on tie-break, 7–6(4). Gil had a 3–0 advantage in the final set and when it looked like he would grab his first ATP World Tour title, Montañés came from behind and ended the Portuguese's hopes with a 7–5 finish, revalidating his title. With this successful campaign, on May 10, Gil climbed 31 places in the world rankings to become no. 102.

After that, Gil went back to the Challenger tour capturing the Milan tournament in June. The rest of the year was played between the Challenger and World tours, with the only significant victory coming in July against no. 38 Tommy Robredo in the first round in Gstaad where he beat the fifth seed 4–6, 7–5, 6–1.
