Patrick Mouratoglou on the American’s Grand Slam drought
Patrick Mouratoglou has been in association with Serena since 2012. The American has flourished under Mouratoglou’s guidance. Recently, in an interview, when asked about Serena’s current form, Patrick Mouratoglou replied, “She still has it. The question is how much she wants it and what is she willing to do to get there?”
“She has a lot of trouble not putting her life as a mother before her life as a player which is completely understandable. I think that’s the main reason she didn’t win a Grand Slam. Her family comes first and in order to be able to do great things in one area, that area can’t come second. She is reflecting and we will see what comes out of it,” he further added.
