Despite 10 Years of Partnership, Patrick Mouratoglou Turning a Blind Eye to Serena Williams to Chose Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic Confounds Her Fans

Patrick Mouratoglou was a significant aspect of Serena Williams’ success on the court, especially post-childbirth. However, Serena’s fanbase has a love-hate relationship with the coach. Although he definitely helped her inch closer to greatness, Mouratoglou has been at the top of many controversies surrounding Serena. Be it a mistranslated statement or a comment on the world’s greatest tennis players- Serena fans have come at Mouratoglou repeatedly, and fiercely on the Internet.

Recently, Mouratoglou posted a video from his official Instagram handle which has gone viral within hours of posting. He comments on what drives some of the greatest tennis players on the court- and especially the top three. In doing so, he misses out on his former charge- the Queen of the Court herself. As expected, Serena’s fans did not take this kindly and criticized him for leaving Serena off the list.

Patrick Mouratoglou forgot to mention Serena Williams or was it intentional?

Mouratoglou talks in the video about how the greatest tennis players in the world, especially Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic build their mindset on the court. How they strive to defeat their weaknesses and in turn defeat the opponent.

However, while talking about this list of “greats”, not once did he take the name of Serena Williams, who he had coached for 10 long years. Serena fans immediately pointed this out and asked him for a justification.

Serena’s fans have made comments like- “You forgot to mention Serena Williams in your list of the greatest players. 😒”, “Serena Williams is one of the greatest. 🤦🏾‍♂️” and  “@patrickmouratoglou why no mention of Serena?”

However, some fans have also reminded Mouratoglou of the US Open controversy with umpire Carlos Ramos. She was later fined heavily for breaching on-court decorum and calling Ramos a “thief” and a “liar”. Fans asked, “What about Serena when she has to battle the umpire?”

However, although Patrick does not openly talk about Serena in the video, she is one of the players who can be seen in the video.

The winner’s mind through Mouratoglou’s lens

In the video, Mouratoglou reveals the real mindset to success. “Players think they’re facing an opponent during a tennis match. They’re not facing an opponent, they’re facing themselves. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer- just to name the three greatest. They have a completely different way to process.”

He says that turning your weak emotions into your strength like these players do is how they manage to beat even the hardest of opponents. However, as he leaves out Serena, what do you think Serena’s greatest emotional strengths are on the court?
