Chills rushed through Naomi Osak when Patrick Mouratoglou told her they’d spend 2 hours net training” – Fans amused by Osaka’s game at China Open after new partnershi
Naomi Osaka’s net play during her opening-round win against Lucia Bronzetti at the 2024 China Open has amused tennis fans. The Japanese was accompanied by Patrick Mouratoglou, who recently joined her team as her new coach.
Osaka announced her split from her coach Wim Fissette shortly after the end of her US Open campaign. Fissette coached the Japanese from 2020-22 after which she took a break from tennis due to her pregnancy. However, the Belgian coach ended his partnership with Qinwen Zheng to return to Osaka in 2024.
Despite creating some phenomenal moments since her return, the four-time Major champion has been a shadow of her former self so far. To nullify the negatives, she has brought Serena Williams’ ex-coach Patrick Mouratoglou on board.
The partnership made its debut at the China Open when the 26-year-old defeated Bronzetti 6-3, 6-2 in the opening round.
