In the first look at Season 1, Part 2 of Netflix’s Break Point, the focus turned to Serena Williams. As several of the show’s personalities said the American legend’s name, Patrick Mouratoglou asked, “Who?”

The Frenchman was joking, of course. Mouratoglou was Williams’ longtime coach. In Break Point, however, he dished on far more than his former charge.

ATPTour.com looks at the best Mouratoglou moments from the Netflix series.

Patrick Dishes On Nick
The first two episodes of the batch focused on Wimbledon, with a lot of time spent on Nick Kyrgios and his breakthrough run to the final. The Australian’s talent has never been questioned, but could he put it together on the sport’s biggest stages?

“All his career so far, Nick has said, ‘I’m not practising, don’t expect anything from me’, because acting that way can just take away the pressure,” Mouratoglou said. “But now he realises that he can maybe win a major. If he starts to work, starts to be ambitious, the pressure suddenly takes him.”

Mouratoglou also said of Kyrgios: “This job is about dealing with pressure at the highest level. So if Nick wants to become a top champion and win Grand Slams, he will have to learn to deal with it, which is something he has never done before.”

High Praise For Novak
Kyrgios eventually met his match in the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic, who won his seventh title at SW19.

Mouratoglou said of the Serbian: “Beating Novak at Wimbledon is probably the highest mountain to climb for any tennis player.”

Mouratoglou Helps Explain Tsitsipas
The drama of episodes six and seven revolved around the third-round Wimbledon clash between Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Mouratoglou knows the Greek well having helped coach him over the years.
“Stef is an incredible player — I mean, he played a final of a Grand Slam,” Mouratoglou said. “And he is the model of professionalism. He is super aggressive in terms of wanting to dictate and be the boss on the court.”

As the story of the match unfolded, the tension levels were high.

“Stef is a fierce fighter and his emotional state is very high,” Mouratoglou said. “If he keeps it here, he’s super dangerous. If it goes too high, it plays against him.”

Patrick Succinctly Captures Tiafoe’s Story
Break Point helped viewers get to know Frances Tiafoe. His parents, from Sierra Leone, moved to the United States. His mother was a nurse who worked multiple jobs and his father was a maintenance worker at a tennis centre. Tiafoe sometimes slept in his father’s office and was able to play tennis for free.

Fast forward and the American was making a dream run at the US Open, where he upset Rafael Nadal en route to the semi-finals, captivating the New York crowd along the way.

Mouratoglou said of Tiafoe: “He’s one of the most incredible stories in our sport. Frances represents better than anyone the American dream.”
