Serena Williams’ former coach Patrick Mouratoglou had the opportunity to share the tennis court with Brazilian football icon Ronaldo in Miami. Currently coaching Holger Rune, Mouratoglou collaborated with Ronaldo for a session on the central court of Miami Gardens. They played a few points together, with the World Cup winner displaying his impressive tennis skills.
Mouratoglou shared a video of their practice session on Instagram, expressing his happiness for working with the “football legend.” He stated that Ronaldo seemed to be a good striker on the pitch as well as skilled with a tennis racket. Meanwhile, Ronaldo was impressed with the conditions on the Miami court, noting the speed of the ball. Mouratoglou praised Ronaldo’s performance and offered some advice for improving his game.
Drawing parallels between tennis and football, Mouratoglou compared Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic to football stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, respectively. He noted how Federer, like Messi, possesses a natural talent while Djokovic, similar to Ronaldo, has a strong work ethic and pays attention to detail.
