The Austrian coach Gunter Bresnik has worked with some of the most prominent tennis players since the 80s, including Boris Becker, Henri Leconte, Horst Skoff, Patrick McEnroe and Ernests Gulbis.
Still, Bresnik is most famous for his long-term partnership with his compatriot Dominic Thiem, leading the most prominent Austrian player since Thomas Muster for 18 years. Bresnik worked with Thiem until 2019, making him one of the world's best players and a Major contender. At the end of the previous season, Bresnik joined Gael Monfils's coaching staff together with Richard Ruckelshausen, who will be France's team captain at the upcoming ATP cup.
Monfils is the top-ranked French player and world no. 11, making a strong start in 2020 before losing ground following the coronavirus outbreak. Monfils lost to Thiem at the Australian Open and won back-to-back titles in Montpellier and Rotterdam. The Frenchman had a massive opportunity to reach another title match in Dubai, dominating world no. 1 Novak Djokovic in the opening set and opening a 6-3 lead in the second set's tie break.
Still, Monfils wasted all three match points and fell in three sets, failing to win a match by the end of the season. Thiem and Monfils will play against each other at the ATP Cup, and it should be interesting to follow that duel because of Gunter Bresnik.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
