However, instead of her comeback news, what flashed on the news screens was Patrick Mouratoglou’s split with Williams. In the past decade, Serena Williams retouched the peak of her career.

Working together since 2012, Patrick helped Serena win 10 majors, an Olympic gold, and a run back to the top of the rankings. Even though the two don’t work together anymore, their legacy has made them the most celebrated coach-player pair of tennis. Recently, Serena opened up on how love has made her a better player. Additionally, Patrick also opened up about the differentiating factor between Serena and other players.

Patrick Mouratoglou calls being happy the reason for the success of Serena

Working together for a decade, Patrick is rightly aware of all the aspects of Serena’s personality. On the court, as well as off the court. Adding on to Serena, Patrick also gave her views on what makes Serena different from other players on the tour. During the candid conversation, Patrick admitted that being happy in all situations is the factor that makes Serena different from other players.

“When you don’t feel ready enough for a champion, you don’t feel good. You’re not happy with yourself. I feel like she’s more relaxed because she is happier. Happy outside the court and happier on the court,” the French coach said.
