Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena Williams’ former coach, recently suggested her career might have benefited from improved physical conditioning.
He stated that Serena’s weight sometimes limited her performance, stressing that a leaner physique could have enhanced her dominance.
Mouratoglou clarified his remarks were not criticism but an honest assessment of how fitness impacts longevity and consistency in tennis.
Despite the observation, Serena’s legacy remains unmatched, with 23 Grand Slam titles and an enduring influence on women’s professional tennis.
