Mouratoglou reflects on Serena Williams
Patrick Mouratoglou and Serena Williams had a long and successful partnership. “I taught Serena Williams to think like Serena again,” Mouratoglou said.
“She had forgotten that. So, she loses the US Open semifinal against Roberta Vinci and it had a huge impact on her. Even though it is one defeat after four Grand Slams won in a row, and she was in the semifinal of the fifth. So, I had to connect her to herself,” Mouratoglou said.”I’ll never forget the 30 minutes before Roland Garros final…
I said to her ‘You have forgotten who are, I need to remind you so sit down. I’m going to tell you your story. She can make it to the final as she has the tennis and physical qualities, but to win a final requires a specific headspace. Serena didn’t have it.”
