PATRICK MOURATOGLOU on The Tennis GOAT & The Importance of a Kind Eye

In this episode of GOOD TROUBLE with Nick Kyrgios, we welcome the legendary tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, known for his transformative work with some of the greatest tennis players, including Serena Williams. Having struggled with extreme shyness and social anxiety during his childhood, Patrick reveals how he turned it into a strength, which has set him apart as a coach. One positive remark from a teacher changed Patrick’s life and he now applies that same principle in his coaching, always focusing on the positives and looking at his players with a “kind eye”. Patrick also reflects on the infamous 2018 US Open final between Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams, and how they brought a lot of eyes to tennis. Both Nick and Patrick have faced criticism for not conforming to traditional roles in tennis, but they’ve pushed boundaries to provoke change in the game.
