Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, has been in a career rut for years. Mouratoglou joined her staff in September of 2024 and there hasn't been much improvement. Osaka has not made it past the third round of a Grand Slam tournament since 2021 when she won the Australian Open. Now she will look for a new coach to help bring her back to form.

Naomi Osaka has announced that she is splitting up with her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. The 4-time Grand Slam champion started working with Mouratoglou in September 2024, shortly after her second-round exit at the US Open.

Carlos has already won two Roland Garros crown at 22, looking destined for more. Still, Mouratoglou pointed out that beating Nadal on clay in his prime is an entirely different challenge! The renowned coach estimates that even a player of Carlos' caliber would only win two or three of ten matches against Rafa in his kingdom on the slowest surface.

Patrick Mouratoglou has highlighted Carlos Alcaraz's serve as a model of relaxed power. The famous coach pointed to two technical cues: the exceptionally high lift of his right led and the deep extension of his left arm after contact.
