Patrick Mouratoglou has praised Serena Williams for her outstanding mentality and overall performance. Serena is a true champion on the court and has inspired many young athletes to take up the sport.
“I understand that people see Serena as someone who’s more powerful than other players because she’s strong and she’s naturally like that. It’s an asset, but it’s also a weakness because you need to change direction very fast, so the muscles are heavy. So that’s not the reason why she is who she is. She doesn’t have the same mindset as most of the players. She has the mindset of a champion,” said Patrick.

A true champion is one who overcomes their ears and injuries to get back on top. The American star has skipped the Olympics in Tokyo, in order to focus on her comeback. She will most probably make a comeback in August, at the US Open. She injured her ankle earlier in June at the All England Club.
Her coach believes she has the qualities of the greatest player of all time. “You can’t be the greatest player of all time if you have only one quality. But her biggest quality is her mental strength,” said Patrick.
Fans will be hoping for the former World No.1 to make a comeback soon. Can she win her 24th Grand Slam in August in New York?
