Super coach Patrick Mouratoglou explained in a video on his Instagram why Djokovic is the great champion he is.
A very well-known coach, Patrick Mouratoglou rose to fame by guiding Serena Williams to a number of her victories. After Simona Halep's doping suspension, he began working with Holger Rune's coaching staff. Although he assisted the Dane in defeating Djokovic at the Paris Masters, he still views Djokovic as one of the sport's all-time great victors.
"Here's something you didn't know about Novak Djokovic," started off Mouratoglou in the video. "In 2001, at the age of 14, Djokovic ended as a triple European champion in singles, doubles, and team competition. Becoming a champion requires to learn to win, and this is something you should learn at a very young age."
It's a trend according to Mouratoglou who explained it on the examples of several other players. Being a champion at a younger age is crucial to becoming a champion later: "It is very interesting to see how many top champions have been super successful when they were young. It's the case for most of them."
"We know about Novak now, but it's also the case for Holger Rune, Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal, Lleyton Hewitt, I can name so many of them. So learning to compete at the highest level when you're young and at the same time, developing your weapons for the future, that's the key for high level," concluded Mouratoglou.
