If you feel weak or not as strong as you wish you were, it's more difficult to beat the pressure, i think it's a totally different situation now, because now she can move.

My role is to think about tennis and to help Serena Williams be the best she can be and do what she wants to achieve.

tennis roles thinking

I think time is working for Serena Williams, i think Serena Williams was much better at the U.S. Open than Serena Williams was at Wimbledon, and Wimbledon( was) better than Roland Garros.

This is the highest pressure anyone can have in life, and on the other side of Australian Margaret Court Australian Margaret Court plays girls who have zero pressure because it is their first final, at some point, Australian Margaret Court will figure out how to deal with Australian Margaret Court.

She got injured several times, especially in the lower part of the body, which is very annoying because you can't do anything, basically, you can't do sports and it delays a lot the moment when you'll be able to compete again.

Her body transformed to become a mother, you don't come back to your previous body, which is the body of a professional top athlete, overnight. It takes time.

It's called pressure, and I think Serena Williams had to experience a bit of pressure in Serena Williams life, and you can't think that Serena Williams's not good at dealing with pressure.

Honestly, it's good, we didn't expect that. She had a lot of treatment, and she's fine. She doesn't feel pain, and she can move. So it's not going to be an issue.

It doesn't seem — there is the video, but what is more important is how she feels and how the ankle looks. The ankle looks okay, she doesn't feel much pain. She feels, but it's acceptable. And we will know tomorrow when it's going to be cold.

First of all, she knew she was not coming to this tournament being prepared the way she wanted to because of the big injury in Miami, for many weeks she was not able to do anything, because she had to recover, so the time she had to prepare was much too short. She did her best, she really tried hard and she really wanted to compete.

Honestly, if Serena didn't lose this one she would probably lose next round, or when the top players would have been the other side of the court, of course it' a disappointment, but in a way it had to happen. She knew she had little chance of winning this year's French Open.

As you know, 99 percent of the matches it's tolerated, it's something that people don't even think about it, just do it every match. And it doesn't make any problem.

Patrick Mouratoglou

It's not that she doesn't want( it), i think her number one quality is to be the best competitor ever, and I don't want to think that suddenly she needs someone to be a better competitor. That would make her weaker.

Patrick Mouratoglou

I’m honest, I was coaching. I mean, I don’t think she looked at me so that’s why she didn’t even think I was. But I was like 100 percent of the coaches on [sic] 100 percent of the matches.

Serena Williams will play French Open to win French Open, can Serena Williams do French Open ? Serena Williams can achieve anything — after being Serena Williams coach for six years, I'm even more sure of that statement.

After her pregnancy, Serena had to rebuild her body. When she arrived at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, around April 30, we realized that she was not ready yet, the time she lost after the delivery, with all the medical issues she had to go through, was missing.
