The tennis future of Serena Williams remains in further question. On Thursday, Williams’s coach, Patrick Mouratoglou of Neuilly-sur-Seine, France was named the new full-time coach of Simona Halep of Romania, according to David Kane of tennis.com.

The key term in the previous sentence is “full-time”. It is not surprising that Mouratoglou is coaching another player while Williams undergoes rehabilitation for her leg injury, but what one might be wondering now is who will coach Williams if and when she comes back. Williams is currently 40 years of age, and even though she has not revealed her future plans, a retirement announcement could happen sooner rather than later.

In addition to coaching Williams, Mouratoglou has been coaching world number five and 2021 French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece on a part-time basis since 2018. Both Mouratoglou and Tsitsipas have a Greek connection, as Mouratoglou is of Greek descent. Among the others Mouratoglou has coached over the years have been Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, Laura Robson of Great Britain, Jeremy Chardy of France, and Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.



It is the time with Williams that is Mouratoglou’s claim to fame. He was with Williams when she won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Mouratoglu also coached Williams to three Wimbledon, three U.S. Open, two Australian Open, and two French Open titles.

Halep has been coached primarily by Darren Cahill of Australia in recent years. She won the 2018 French Open and the 2019 Wimbledon for her two career major titles. Halep is currently ranked 20th in the world.
