Eye of the Coach: "With Holger, we need to take lessons from that Roland-Garros"

Today, I assess Holger's Roland Garros and his clay-court season. Of course, losing in the quarter-finals is disappointing, because our aim is to win Grand Slams.
But the road to the top is a learning curve and we're going to learn from what happened in Paris and over the last few weeks to move forward.
If you look at Holger in October, who was 30th in the world, and the Holger of today, who is a solid Top 10 player, I think he has improved a lot and is no longer the same player. He has progressed a lot and won a lot too.

Very level headed insight from mr. mouratoglou.

[@LiamApilado]

A difficult and inspiring journey

[@davidf4163]

No doubt that Rune has made huge improvements in a short period of time, but with a goal of winning grand slams and being number 1 there is obviously more improvement required. Well looks to me like this coaching relationship is exactly what is needed - hopefully it can continue and can not wait to see what is coming next !

[@johannes9422]

I truly believe that Holger is going to win a slam and will reach number 1, within the next 2 years.

[@nicholsonlim1042]

Never

[@deelak2329]

Na. Alcaraz is too good. Will definitely win a slam one day and might reach 1 one day when carlos has a slump. But Carlos is wayyyy too good.

[@jonbonesmahomes7472]

Maybe..but Alcaraz is the best right now..

[@joshheinink]

Alcaraz wins more though

[@deelak2329]

@@jonbonesmahomes7472 Interesting since Novak is number 1 and won 4 of the last 6 slams.

[@raphaelschmehl4193]

I like your videos much. Can you make a video of which grip is the best? Especially for recreational players?

[@chengifoo7603]

Look at Alacraz - he was overcomed by cramps at the semi's due to nerves... so I cannot imagine what Holger had to go through to reach his goal of being no. 1 and winning a Grand Slam. He may need to take stock and not burn himself out. Maybe over ambitious at the expense of this physical and mental well being. But luckily he has Patrick M as his amazing coach and will help to put him back on track again.

[@techdiyer5290]

Cramps from nervous ? Lol. He just got run do hard by djoko. Watch the full two first sets man. Djokovic is running him left to right. Hitting everything deep, so Alcaraz can't hit dropshots. Djokovic had a massive amount of control during the match

[@telmolicious]

@@techdiyer5290 2 things can be true my guy.

[@geemy9675]

​​@@techdiyer5290he match was dead even until Alcaraz had the cramps. He didn't have any tough match before in the tournament. No way such a 20yo top athlete would collapse like that after two sets of it wasn't for the mental pressure. Djokovic raised his level in key moments like he did during the final (tie break), pressure helps him. Alcatraz doesn't have the experience and was too tense

[@dachochiyo3992]

​@geemy9675 Before the match start I picked Alcaraz win 3 straight set but Djokovic level in GS is so high so different from he played in Master

[@mirch100]

1.- Dont Lie! its something that in some moment will get in to your mind!

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

My left ear enjoyed this video

[@papi-jor9239]

Just look at the picture at 0:14. He looks absolutely exhausted. He was looking with these bags under the eyes the whole tournament. He should take good rest and start again

[@JayPrada]

He said he sleeps more than 8 hours

[@papi-jor9239]

@VD you see the same in the first and second picture?

[@4kisso283]

Rune is going to be #! soon

[@SScott-nr9vl]

That's weird that this was uploaded in June but he was fired ask his coach in April?

[@rahulramawat3350]

You teach tsitsipas. Tsitsipas two gandsalm final but novak win

[@cindygirlification]

The only thing that will ruin his potential is too much tennis, too much outside interference and too much expectation. Play and train the optimal not the maximum. 🥴

[@michaelmelamed9103]

ToO much tennis, toO much OF outside interference and toO HIGH expectationS.

[@cindygirlification]

@@michaelmelamed9103 Thanks- edit made.

[@stevel.2759]

Even Connors and McEnroe were disliked like Rune. A holes soften when young guns behind them get better. Cocky is necessary to he #1. You think Djokovic isn't?

[@user-fo6hg7dv7q]

Is CLEAR double bouncing cocky or is it just low class.

[@WtRigger100]

Cocky isn’t the same as being unsportsmanlike, nevertheless he’s a great talent.

[@pierrepaul3203]

I have seen Patrick better in his analysis. I am not sure just mental tiredness explained playing so badly during nearly 3 sets. I rarely saw a player playing so badly. It was at the level of Lecomte final last 2 sets in 1988. There is much more to look at from this match than what the interview is saying. Don’t be complacent on this one Patrick

[@rammohan1991]

Rune is too talented even for Mortgagelu to ruin him . An irresistible force meets an immovable object , let's see who wins .

[@paddyk845]

Ruin him?

[@rammohan1991]

@@paddyk845 look what happened to Tsitsipas , Dimtrov . Chardy , Marco bhagdatis weren't talented enough , it can be excused

[@rammohan1991]

@@paddyk845 Not a single tennis player has won a title under his tutelage . Serena is the exception . He has a history of taking in junior prodigies and ruining their careers. Seriously look it up .

[@mattbarge]

This music is so LOUD

[@Bruno-tb9rs]

Very bad mindset. Of course those players want to win a grandslam, but saying that not winning is disapoiting is very shallow. That's why there are always some bad behaviours on court. He should focus on playing the best he can do. Winning or not winning a grandslam depends on many other variables, including the other players! Maybe that's why Serena got so frustated recently!

[@vinozarazzi5633]

Holger needs time to mature and connect with his soul. Modern sword duels like tennis can not be won by yang alone. Where is the yin?

[@rajavidhun]

If you want to be a good player lose the reverse hat :) Don't think we have ever had a good one with that ridiculous look

[@AlexOlivari67]

Holger needs to learn to behave like a champ, and not like a spoiled wimp. Having his mother in the box non stop is absolutely embarassing and not helpful at all.

[@thuythuan9573]

First: Rune should take off his hat! For serious look! With hat, he looks like a kid, not a serious guy on mission

[@holymackenaw]

For me Rune was in an elite group of two players who could beat Djoker. Thats him and Alcaraz. Noone else had a real chance at RG. And Ruud, who is a very good player, has zero chance of beating Djoker. Imo.

[@seaneckhart9914]

Tell Holger to stop pampering the ball.

[@rammohan1991]

Lol the biggest conman in tennis history , patrick the dream crusher .

[@Zenon-fg4dw]

To me, he seems like a very mechanical player with very little variety and with limited capacity for adaptation. I doubt he is a grand slam prospect. Not a very likable player.

[@user-fo6hg7dv7q]

A cheater is what we all saw in the Roland Garros. Wish im to achive what he deserves, which is not much.

[@thelocaltraveller305]

Man hes young and will learn from mistakes. He is an unbelievable talent and will be at the top for a long long time! Rn my favourite player.

Are u better then him. What’s your name. I wanna have a look since ur the best in the world. You must be better then him
