Patrick Mouratoglou

I've got Arthur Vance, who is currently on his third cup of coffee and vibrating at a frequency that might disrupt our signal, and Leo Sterling, who is probably still dreaming of wood rackets and five-hour clay court grinds.

Today, we are diving into Patrick Mouratoglou defending Sasha Zverev's U.S. Open run, Emma Raducanu's latest injury setback alongside Alex Ila's WTA struggles, and a juicy Davis Cup preview.

Let's get into it.

Third cup of coffee? Elena, please.

Mm.

I think that Patrick Mouratoglou partnership has, has done wonders already.

Yeah, interesting.

And, uh, we're gonna move on to our next category, and I'm actually gonna s- kick us off 'cause it is Tsitsipas related.

Yeah

... and this is hearsay, um, Patrick Mouratoglou's father is very, very wealthy.

And, you know, he basically is-- Patrick, it's, you know, just public knowledge.

Like say a Tsitsipas, he saw him on YouTube playing, brought the family in and said, "We really like you," and he just sponsored the family.

I, I talked about the Theiss upset in some detail tactically.

I did not mention Patrick Mouratoglou, which some people are commenting about.

Uh, I, you know, I don't know what Patrick is, is working on with Stefanos, but I do think, not knowing this firsthand, but this is maybe some- thing, something that I've heard over the years, and maybe it's just a sense that I get.

I think Patrick is really good at its- instilling confidence in his, in his pupils, [chuckles] you know? I, I think he's very good at that.

But it's quite ironic 'cause she's got Swiatek's old coach that, uh, did a great job with her winning multiple majors.

'Cause let's not forget, Naomi went with Patrick Mouratoglou because of the fact that he coached Serena Williams, who was her idol growing up.

That combination for some reason didn't work out.

But now all of a sudden she's starting to play really good tennis again.

And then again, I haven't seen Stefanos Tsitsipas serve and hit the forehand this well since 2021, 2022 range.

It's just, it's been a different Tsitsipas week one in New York, and maybe it is the return of Patrick Mouratoglou into his box.

Again, 12 aces on 72% of those first serve points.

Um, only 9 of 14 moving forward because the forehand did the heavy lifting, and it just felt like Lehečka felt the pressure of that weight of shot anytime it was forced at him.

And I actually think, uh, results like this where he's, he's doing, actually doing well and, and performing w- with his new team.

Patrick Mouratoglou's back in his box.

Yeah.

Um, and in his box physically.
