Simona Halep’s coach Patrick Mouratoglou has come in support of the tennis star’s recent controversy. The two-time Grand Slam champion failed a drug test at the US Open this year, after which she came out testing positive for an illegal drug. 

After struggling to return to her form this year, the Romanian star faced hardship in the other paths. Earlier this year, the tennis legend separated from her billionaire husband just after a year of getting married. She also had nose surgery the previous month. Her involvement in the doping scandal, however, shocked the tennis community greatly. However, the tennis pro can be suspended from the sport after she failed a drug test.

The former tennis player, Patrick Mouratoglou, has coached various tennis giants like Serena Williams during his coaching career but has never seen anything like this. Earlier this year, the tennis coach joined forces with the two-time Grand Slam champion as a coach. After Halep’s doping news came out, the former player on Tuesday took to his social media account to share his view on the controversy.

According to the post, the tennis coach has had 30 years of professional experience and has never witnessed anything like this. He believes the 31-year-old is innocent and stands by her own principles and would never have done something like this.
