I started with Gally when she was 13 years old. We played ITF juniors for 2 years starting with no ranking and finishing at 135 in the world before switching to WTA where we again started with no ranking and finished at 455 WTA when Gally was 19 years old and then decided to go to college in Belgium.
Coached Els during the Hobart WTA event and Australian Open womenu2019s main draw. Els won her first round at the AO before losing to Martina Hingis in the 2nd round.
