The union becomes official after the North American player, who hasn’t played for eight months, agrees that the Frenchman devotes himself full-time to the management of the Romanian.
A news that caused a stir in the world of tennis is the one delivered today by Patrick Mouratoglou. After 10 years of relationship with Serena Williams, the two paths separate so well that the Frenchman now takes over as Simona Halep’s full-time coach. .
A decision which is mainly explained by the lack of activity of the North American player lately. In reality, Serena hasn’t officially competed in eight months and he seems closer to retirement than getting back on track. Simona, for her part, is at a time when she is looking to get back to the level that took her to world number one and win two Grand Slams (Roland Garros 2018 and Wimbledon 2019).
Mouratoglou himself confirmed that Halep tried to add him to his squad before, but the situation didn’t happen. Now, after speaking with Serena, and herself allowing him to train another short-term player, the union has been confirmed. “Over the past eight months I have realized how much I miss training. It is my life’s passion and I still feel like I have a lot to give. explained the coach on social networks.
The strategist has a long career, where as well as working with the youngest Williams, he coached part-time for Stefanos Tsitsipas and Coco Gauff. In this new challenge, he will be looking to help Halep improve on the number 20 ranking she currently has and lead her back to conquering a Grand Slam.
