Gael accepted the wild cars to play in New Zealand and join top players such as Ferrer and Haas. The organisation is elated by having Gael on board.

He is often described as the player, outside the big four, who has the game to win a Grand Slam. He loves to play up to the crowd.” said Karl Budeg, the tournament director.
