Patrick Mouratoglou: Serena Williams will work even harder on herself
Patrick Mouratoglou, coach of American tennis star Serena Williams, says that the American was very disappointed and upset after she left. In the third round of the Australian Open, Serena lost to Chinese player Wang Qiang in three sets. The 24th Grand Slam title must therefore still be a long time coming.

Serena Williams' clock is ticking
The last time Serena won a major title was in 2017 at the Australian Open. Since then, she has reached four Grand Slam finals, but missed title number 24. Last but not least, the currently very high performance density in women's tennis ensures that the time is not running for the now 38-year-old.
"We are not worried"
According to Fox Sports Malaysia, Mouratoglou said: "I fully understand that she is angry, I am also disappointed - this is normal. But that will help, because she will definitely work harder on herself. She would like to win one Grand Slam title again, if possible several. She will do a lot for that and work every single match hard. "
Mouratoglou continues: “We are not worried. We just have to analyze, find new solutions and get back to work. - Serena wants it and we will do everything we can to make it happen! ”
Wang , who lost to Williams at the US Open a few months ago, lost in the quarter-finals to Ons Jabeur from Tunisia.
