Patrick Mouratoglou has been associated with tennis for over two decades. Apart from coaching, he even commentates during certain tennis events. He has great knowledge about the game and his analysis is bang on. Having coached many top players over the years, he is known best for his partnership with Serena Williams. 

Coming back to events held this year, the tour did suffer considerably due to the effects of COVID-19. The US Open, for the first time, was held before the French Open. Moreover, Wimbledon was canceled, much to everyone’s disappointment. There were many changes as compared to normal circumstances, including matches being held behind closed doors. 

Patrick Mouratoglou Vouches for Tennis Players

As the players gear up for the 2021 season, there isn’t any assurance yet as to when the Australian Open will begin or the pre-season warm-up tournaments begin. Speaking on this issue, Mouratoglou said,

“The tennis year is over. The preseason starts already in order to get ready for 2021 but we don’t even know when we will start and where. Crazy times and stressful times for professional tennis players.”

Patrick’s concern is genuine. There are many uncertainties as to when the events for next season will begin. For a player, it could be a distraction to his/her order of preparations. As an organizer, safety is the number one priority. One cannot neglect the threat of the coronavirus.

Patrick and Williams have won 10 Majors together. The statistics certainly highlight that he’s a successful coach. Other than Serena, Patrick has coached players like Baghdatis, Dimitrov, Laura Robson to name a few. Mouratoglou has his own academy in France, one where Stefanos Tsitsipas and Coco Gauff have been training under his guidance.
