After her disappointing loss in the first round of the French Open back in April (during which she was an emotional wreck), Serena Williams began working with a new coach in France. In the process, she may also have found herself a new boyfriend.
Serena and Patrick Mouratoglou were recently spotted in France together looking like far more than just a teacher and his pupil. As you can see from these photos that were posted on the French website PK Tennis, Williams and Mouratoglou were walking down the streets of Paris with their arms around each other. At one point, Serena even had her hand in Mouratoglou’s back pocket. Saucy!
Last week, Mouratoglou told the Gettysburg Times (via the Detroit Free Press) how his professional relationship with Williams began.
“She said, ‘I want to win Wimbledon, I want to start now,'” he explained. “That’s simple. That’s how it started.”
The interesting thing here is that all we ever hear from Serena is how she doesn’t do relationships. Since the beginning of the year, she has talked about how she hasn’t been on a date in forever, how she is totally done dating and how she plays better when she’s single. Maybe dating someone who helps you with tennis eliminates all those concerns?
