Serena Williams got all the support from her loved ones. Top personalities like Tiger Woods, The Hadids were in attendance at the posh Flushing Meadows.
Serena Williams had a stunning run at the last grand slam of the year. She defeated Danka Kovinic in the first round and World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit in the second round. In her personal essay for Vogue, Williams said, “I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair, If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family.” Williams has won 6 US Open titles.
Thank you for everything: Patrick Mouratoglou comments on his collaboration with Serena Williams
Serena Williams has defined women’s tennis for over two decades now. Her former Patrick Mouratoglou took to twitter to show his appreciation. Mouratoglou coached Williams for ten years before they parted ways this year as he started coaching Romanian star Simona Halep.
Before Williams’ Roland Garros struggles, Mouratoglou said, “I went to ask her what she was going to do. It wasn’t very clear to her. I asked her if she wanted to go to Roland Garros. She told me she didn’t know. It was six weeks before the tour. I told her I was waiting for her on Monday for training and if she didn’t come I would consider myself free.”
Now Mouratoglou is under much scrutiny for his short farewell tweet for Serena. People are slamming him and calling his message half-hearted. Mouratoglou was a crucial part of Williams’ career and his farewell message is not sitting well with fans who are claiming that it is ‘half-hearted’. People are wondering if there’s any beef between the two of them.
