If you carefully check the player profiles of the ATP aces, you might find something interesting at Gael Monfils in the "Coaches" section: In addition to Richard Ruckelshausen, there is also the name of Günter Bresnik, long-time coach of Dominic Thiem and other world-class players. In fact, Bresnik has been preparing for Monfils in the past week, but was unable to make the trip to Australia. Ruckelshausen, who was also appointed captain of the French at the ATP Cup, will take care of it.
At the suggestion of Bresnik, as he confirmed to tennisnet.com a few days ago. He's been training with Monfils since November, the choice of Ruckelshausen was obvious because he had already been in Dubai for the practice units. In addition, play tennis himself very well. Even as Thiem's supervisor, Bresnik had occasionally entrusted other coaches with the tournament supervision of his protégé, such as Joakim Nyström or Galo Blanco.
Monfils is currently preparing for its first deployment in 2021. This will take place at the ATP Cup, the start of which has been postponed by one day to February 2nd. Monfils will compete in the "single", Benoit Paire in second place. In doubles, the French are well positioned with Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin. Monfils and Co. meet Austria in Group C with top player Dominic Thiem and the Italians around Matteo Berrettini.
