Fans were annoyed by how Patrick Mouratoglou honoured Serena Williams after their ten years of working together.
A lot of content is posted on Mouratoglou's social media channels every day, and he is well recognized for using them to advertise his brand. It offers advice, previews of events, videos that teach tennis concepts, and more. Fans were sad to see him simply devote a few lines to Williams on social media.
He wrote:
“What a ride it has been. Thank you for everything. I wish you the very best for the next chapter!”
That was heavily crticized by fans who slammed him for the 'tribute'. One wrote:
“Serena and Patrick worked together for 10+ years and that post is the best he could do?”
Another added:
“He should have written a whole novel about her”.
Given that he was largely unknown before she began working with him, many were upset by the way he handled the situation. Since then, he has been well-known for mentoring Stefanos Tsitsipas and coaching stars like Coco Gauff and Linda Fruhvirtova. As he rose to become one of the most well-known instructors in the world during the ten years they collaborated, it felt underwhelming towards a person that started it all.
