Patrick Mouratoglou: Djoker Has Not Lost A Match In 2020.

[badteeth]

He definitely lost any chance of being the GOAT... not that this short-tempered psycho would have ever been an ATG anyway.

Still three million more votes is three million more, so your guy was not as popular with the electorate.

Hillary still refuses to concede because she received three million more votes and because of Russian interference. It all depends on perspective.

Serena thought he would leave his family for her. Two quality people

He eventually did divorce his first wife and later remarried a different woman.

He likely separated from his wife, tried a romantic relationship with Serena that didn't work out, so they decided to just have a professional relationship

None of this is unusual or reflect poorly on anyone's character. This is also a pretty strange moral judgement coming someone who supports a man on his third marriage and who just paid hush money to a porn actress

He is the coach of the world's top players. By definition that makes him a tennis expert.

ESPN cameras cut away to this guy after every point even though he always has that same boring look on his face. Nobody gets more TV time than him.

Coaching career (1999–)
Marcos Baghdatis (1999–2006) Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (2007–2009) Aravane Rezaï (2009–2010) Yanina Wickmayer (2009–2012) Laura Robson (2010–2011) Jérémy Chardy (2012) Grigor Dimitrov (2012) Serena Williams (2012–) Stefanos Tsitsipas (2018–) Coco Gauff (2018–)

He founded the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in 1996 near Paris (later relocated to the outskirts of Nice), and has coached many up-and-coming players, including Marcos Baghdatis (whom he coached to the final of the 2006 Australian Open), Julia Vakulenko, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Aravane Rezaï, Jérémy Chardy, Laura Robson, Yanina Wickmayer and Grigor Dimitrov.

Being the coach of the world's top players doesn't make you a tennis expert. There are other variables that play a role in becoming one. I'm not aware of his day-by-day schedule but you need to dedicate a lot of your time to do research and study to gain more knowledge about a certain topic. Experience (which I think he has) and skill are also required to become an expert at something. I mean sure, the guy may be great coach and he could be an expert in terms of coaching, but, in my opinion, that's about it. You know who else has coached a World number 1 and has his own tennis academy? Pepe Imaz. If we would extrapolate this situation to other sports, there are coaches that have managed great football teams but they wouldn't be called experts in the field (Claudio Ranieri, Andre Villas-Boas, or Luis Scolari to name a few).

Mouratoglou gained a lot of attention from the media in 2018, after he contradicted Serena by saying that he was indeed coaching her from the stands. He's on ESPN and Netflix (The Playbook) partially because he's good at selling himself.

But you can take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. Maybe I'm just trying to defend my point of view because I don't like the guy.

It's not a competitive loss, but it's an official loss.

Hamilton got two 5 second penalties, and he is pretty sure officials are being over-zealous when it comes to him and his car.

He lost a Grand Prix because of it, according to him.

I'm sure that Patrick Mouratoglou knows how scoring in tennis works. He was simply making a point about Novak's form this year.

Pablo Carreno Busta has all the rights to claim that he won the match against Novak (it's not his problem that Novak hit the linesperson in the throat), but in reality - he didn't take even a whole set from Novak in that match, let alone the match itself.

Everyone knows what he meant. Novak lost the match since he broke the rule. Otherwise, he has beaten them all:
2 Nadal
3 Thiem
4 Federer
5 Med
6 Tsitsi
9 Monfils x2
10 RBA
11 Shapo
14 Schwartzman x2
16 Khachanov
19 Garin
21 Raonicx2
25 Ruud
29 Krajinoviv
32 Struff x3
35 Nishioka
Koepfer, Ito, Caruso, Edmund, Dzumhut, Sandgren, Berankis, Kolschreiner, Jaziri, Anderson

What is fascinating is how fast he regrouped afterwards to win in Rome.

A loss by DQ is still a loss. That's on Djoko.
