Serena Williams’ game was near-perfect, wasn’t it? Over the years during her career, the American legend dominated her opponents on the court.
Such was her greatness that she went on to win an astonishing 23 Grand Slam titles along with a host of other big titles.
Despite her domination, Williams had a weakness in her game. Recently, her former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, revealed how he helped her overcome that weakness.
Mouratoglou is a legendary French coach and has long been associated with Williams. He often drops coaching videos on his official Instagram handle. In one such video, he pointed out the big mistake Williams made and how she overcame it.
Former coach addresses a hidden secret about Serena Williams’ game
The French coach dropped a coaching video just hours ago, which explained getting the perfect forehand. Mouratoglou revealed how Williams used an incorrect shape of the hand while hitting those forehands and how he helped her improve it. Mouratoglou said, “When I started with Serena, she was doing the same. She was doing this. Why do this?”
Further, he went on to add, “Because if you hit flat like this, you feel very risky. Subconsciously, you think, if I do this, there will be more margin. She corrected it. And after she was like this. She was using her hand more. So she had a bit of spin all the time. And then she is consistent and powerful.” In the caption, he also wrote, “Do you also have this bad habit when you hit a forehand?”
Mouratoglou played an instrumental role in Williams’ career, helping her win some of the biggest titles. Their partnership ended in 2022 when Williams was suffering from injuries just before her retirement. While this is one of the rare occasions that Mouratoglou has pointed out a fault in Williams’ game, he has often praised her for her illustrious career.
When Mouratoglou praised Williams’ impact
He said, ”I think the Williams sisters have inspired a lot of African Americans and Black people in general. Before them, very few people of color have been at the top of the game in that sport.”
Indeed, the tennis world is blessed to have had players like the Williams sisters. The two are hugely missed on the tennis court, with Serena Williams retired and Venus Williams out injured.
