Serena’s former coach, Mouratoglou, to work with Danish teen

By The Associated Press
Serena Williams’ former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, is going to work with Danish teenager Holger Rune for the rest of this season and during preparation for 2023. Mouratoglou began coaching two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep this year, but she announced last month she would be on a break from the tour after having nose surgery to improve her breathing. The Mouratoglou-Rune partnership was described in a news release as being planned to extend until Halep returns to action. Rune is a 19-year-old who won his first tour title at Munich in April. He reached the quarterfinals at the French Open.
