Sjeng Schalken
Sjeng Schalken (; born 8 September 1976) is a coach and a former professional tennis player from the Netherlands. Playing style A right-handed baseliner with a single-handed backhand, Schalken's game is characterised by his consistency of both wings and his continental technique on both the forehand and backhand.
