The discussion of the best player in any sport is bound to provoke many arguments. No matter how the argument starts, it will always devolve into a fight between fans. Ahead of the French Open final, Patrick Mouratoglou threw caution to the wind. He made comparisons between Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams which led to much mocking and criticism of the French coach.

While there are positives to each player, the G.O.A.T. of tennis debate has taken many forms. For Mouratoglou, the Djoker is close to being on the same level as the Queen of the Court, Serena Williams.

Fans incensed over Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams comparison

As Novak Djokovic gears up to play against Casper Ruud in the final fans are intently waiting for him to set a new record in slams. While many have focused on just the match, the French coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, has another point of view to share with fans.

In a tweet ahead of the finals, Mouratoglou stated that Djokovic has the chance of coming to the same level as Serena Williams. A simple statement from an outsider’s point of view, but tennis fans were not happy. The outrage in his comment section began as soon as he uploaded his tweet.

Many fans were reminding the ex-coach of Serena Williams about the achievements of Margaret Court in tennis. One user outrightly stated that Margaret Court is at the top with no room for discussion.

Another fan added to the sentiment and asked Mouratoglou to think once again.

Another fan said that the two are great in their own right and comparing them is unnecessary.

Many fans also chastised him for mixing up men and women tennis players.
