Losing US Open final was very disappointing for Serena Williams - Coach
In an interview to Marca, Serena Williams's coach Patrick Mouratoglou commented on last year's US Open final loss to Naomi Osaka. 'As you can imagine it was very disappointing for her to reach a final like the New York's and lose it. All the effort she did to comeback on Tour after being a mother are focused on winning Grand Slam titles again. Serena has always been very ambitious. She is not aware that reaching two finals like she did last year is a big achievement. She is a born competitor. For her winning is what matters. All what happened at the US Open is the past.'
'Champions are used to find solutions in a natural way to keep having success. Since I know her she is trying to be a better player every day.'
What's Serena's secret? 'There is not an answer to your question. She has a good technique, maybe the best serve of all time. In general, she has a lot of power on all her shots. She is one of the biggest athletes in history, always with a champion's winner mentality. But, especially, she likes to compete. She came back from a lot of tough situations during her career.'
On Angelique Kerber splitting with Wim Fissette at the end of last year after winning Wimbledon and reaching Australian Open semifinals, Mouratoglou added: 'From outside it's always difficult to understand a separation when you got results. I suppose there will be some good reason because no one wants to lose your coach if you are playing well.'
