Who was Serena Williams coach Patrick Mouratoglou?

Patrick Jean André Mouratoglou is a French tennis coach and sports commentator of Greek descent. He was the coach of Serena Williams from June 2012 to 2022. Since Spring 2022, Mouratoglou has been the coach of Simona Halep.

He was born on June 8, 1970, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France and he is currently 52 years old. He resides in France.

He founded the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in 1996 near Paris (later relocated to the outskirts of Nice) and has coached many up-and-coming players, including Marcos Baghdatis (whom he coached to the final of the 2006 Australian Open), Julia Vakulenko, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Aravane Rezaï, Irena Pavlovic, Jérémy Chardy, Laura Robson, Yanina Wickmayer and Grigor Dimitrov.

Why did they split?

Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou used to train Serena Williams. He has explained his decision to part ways with the American tennis star.

Mouratoglou revealed the decision to bring an end to their 10-year relationship, instead choosing to train Simona Halep on a full-time basis.

He explained why he split from Serena when it was clear she would not be competing at the French Open.

“I went to ask her what she was going to do,” he said. “It wasn’t very clear to her. I asked her if she wanted to go to Roland-Garros. She told me she didn’t know.

“It was six weeks before the [WTA] Tour. I told her I was waiting for her on Monday for training and if she didn’t come I would consider myself free.”

The decision to step away from training Williams made Mouratoglou consider whether he should walk away from coaching altogether.

He explained: “After Serena decided to take a break, I confessed to my loved ones that I feel like I’m done with coaching.

“I knew that one of my strengths was that I had a lot of enthusiasm for my work. Without this enthusiasm, I can’t be a good coach. I felt like I had lost it.”
