The Belgian duo, ranked 13th in the world as a team, approached Coetzee after he ended his long-standing coaching arrangement with Colombian Grand Slam winner, Juan Sebastian Cabal, and Robert Farah last month. Gillé (30) and Vliegen (28) are ranked individually 24 and 32 respectively on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) world doubles ranking. Sander is right-handed and has such a loose arm offering the team the perfect mix to break well into the world’s top 10,” Coetzee said. “One thing I want is to assist the boys in staying healthy and change their nutrition” Coetzee revealed. They are scheduled to play two ATP 250 events in Adelaide ahead of the first Grand Slam of the new year, The Australian Open in Melbourne.
