Patrick Mouratoglou honestly admitted his chances of winning a match against Holger Rune.
The Frenchman has been one of the most prominent coaches accompanying elite players in recent years. Perhaps his most notable partnership has been with Serena Williams, with whom he has won 10 Grand Slam titles in her career.
With one of the most reputable tennis academies globally, where several of the world's top players train, Mouratoglou also has associations with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Grigor Dimitrov, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Coco Gauff, and recently, the suspended Simona Halep and Holger Rune.
Mouratoglou has amassed a significant following on his social media platforms, where he shares videos offering tennis tips and training advice for fans. Additionally, he shares his opinions on the performance of some players on the ATP Tour, garnering more than 1 million followers.
The coach shared a video of himself playing on a clay court, demonstrating some good tennis skills. In each clip he shared, Mouratoglou was seen winning points, which caught the attention of some fans.
“Why you never lost in your video? Try to beat Holger Rune please .. your ex student .. with a serious match,” some fan commented.
“I have Zero Chance to even score a game!” Patrick Mouratoglou humorously admitted in response.
Mouratoglou joined Rune's coaching team in 2022 after Simona Halep announced that she would end her year due to a nose surgery, intending to return in early 2023. However, Halep's suspension was revealed shortly after. During this period, Mouratoglou worked alongside Lars Christensen, the head coach.
Rune achieved significant success during this collaboration, winning the Stockholm Open and securing a Masters 1000 title in Paris-Bercy, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final. However, they recently decided to part ways due to a series of poor results for Rune, including a first-round exit at the US Open.
“Unfortunately, all the stories have to come to an end. I took the utmost pleasure with you and I will always be your supporter. All Mouratoglou Academy stays behind you. Good luck my friend," the Frenchman said about the split on Instagram.
