Patrick Mouratoglou spoke to The New York Times about Serena Williams's health condition heading into Wimbledon. The Frenchman, who has been working as a coach with the American since 2012, said: “I’m happy because Serena is injury free finally. She was in pain for three months, so it’s just a big, big difference. The knee was swelling all the time. It was big. She needed treatment every day to be able to step on a court even though in pain. Every day that passes, she is stronger because we are building on something solid. Whereas before we could not.”

Serena lost to Sofia Kenin in the French Open third round. She was not at her best with her knee at the time. “It was not as bad as we could think, and that was basically what the doctor said, which was really cool. The knee was in pain, but the solution was not complicated, not that complicated.” She could play but was playing with pain and did a preparation with pain, which you never want to do. She always thinks she can find a way, even if injured and in pain. It’s her No. 1 quality, to believe in herself even in the most difficult situations, so I don’t want to take that away from her.”

“Her movement was definitely hindered at the French against Kenin, and it can’t be, because women’s tennis is too strong right now. She needs to be able to move at full throttle. It’s not just a big serve and look to have quick points. You need to have that mobility.”
