Serena Williams infographic
Morato Gross, the coach of 23-time Grand Serena Williams, was recently interviewed by the French news agency (AFP) to say that whether Serena Williams wins her 24th Grand Slam title or not, she is the best tennis player of all time. The American officially reached the 40-year-old mark at the end of September, and the ranking also fell to 40 places due to the decline in the number of entries, and whether she can win the 24th Grand Slam title for the first time has always been the focus of attention.
"It would be best if Serena (Serena Williams) could break Court's record, but even if she didn't, she's still the greatest tennis player of all time." Moratoglu said.
"She still has passion and motivation. But the question is how much she craves that, and how much is she willing to pay for another Grand Slam title? Everything has become difficult since she gave birth to her daughter, she has to live as a mother first, not a tennis player, of course this is something I can understand very well, but I think this is the main factor in her failure to win another Grand Slam, her family is the most important thing for her, but if a person wants to achieve something in a field, then this field definitely cannot be put in second place, she is thinking about it, as to what conclusion she will come to, we will wait and see. ”
Moratoglu said that while Serena Williams' next event is still undecided, she is currently training: "You at least need to be on the pitch to gain confidence, and if you can't play, it all starts at the training ground and that's where she is now." ”
Physically aside, Moratogru says pressure is another reason to stop Serena williams from winning another Grand Slam: "Obviously we have tough hurdles to overcome, but she's only a step away from winning a Grand Slam several times. Physical preparation is a must, but the pressure is always there, not only from the outside, but also from the self, which is the essence of the sport of tennis. ”
