Patrick Mouratoglou: Serena Williams can win another Grand Slam
Patrick Mouratoglou recently spoke about Serena Williams, saying that her aim is to win more Grand Slams and he also believes that the American can win more.
"Her target has always been to win grand slams and that's why she came back, because she believes - and of course I believe too - that she is able,” Mouratoglou said at the Laureus World Sports Awards 2019.
“She has the level to win grand slams. She was close two times last year, played to grand slam finals, so this year the goal is to do better than last year and win the last two that are missing, and then we see.”
“What Serena has achieved over the last 20 years is unique in the history of the sport, but she's a unique person, she's a unique player and we will do everything to beat that record, so she stays in all the [history] books forever.”
He then spoke about Naomi Osaka, saying, "Naomi achieved something incredible. "She won her first grand slam and right after she won another, which is something so rare in our sport, whether for men or women," he said.
"Usually you need a lot of time to recover and you experience a new pressure as a grand slam winner and it takes time and she's been able to bounce back and this shows incredible mental strength.”
"It's clearly strange [the split with Bajin], it's not something you're used to seeing. It's her choice and we have to respect it and she probably had her reasons and they didn't want to talk about it, so we have to respect it."
