Every time the ATP or WTA speak about changing something, you see the reaction. So I think they're doing a good job because those people are still watching tennis 40 years later and they are still fans so I'm not sure they should change because I don't know how the fans would feel.

Patrick Mouratoglou

Tennis is fake. We have real characters, but they don't dare to be themselves, and the code of conduct has a lot to do with that.

Patrick Mouratoglou

My job is called adaptation. It's always about adapting to new situations, but the core team is going to be the same.

Patrick Mouratoglou

My reality was that I would become a tennis player. I never had any doubt about it. It was my life.

Patrick Mouratoglou

Who are the governing bodies to say what is a good and a bad behaviour? I think that's unacceptable, even from an ethical point of view. I don't think anyone on this planet should be able to point at people and say this. For example, if it's not dangerous for other people, you should be allowed to break a racket. It's my racket, it's my problem.

My brother is a musician and I'm in tennis.

When you watch the top guys, you know there will be no drama all match. They're gonna wipe their face between points, they're gonna ask for balls, they're gonna choose the ball, they're gonna bounce the ball 200 times, they're gonna hit the ball, and that's it. That's the whole story.

Patrick Mouratoglou

You can have the nicest academy in the world, it doesn't make any difference, it's all about the people. Our job is all about the people.

Patrick Mouratoglou

I couldn't connect with people so I developed other senses. I had no other option.

Patrick Mouratoglou

American and French culture are really, really different, but in a way it's funny.

Patrick Mouratoglou

People are watching sports to feel emotions. They watch movies for the same purpose.

Patrick Mouratoglou

I think coaches sometimes think it's always their way.

Patrick Mouratoglou

You kill the emotion by standardising the behaviours on court. I want authenticity. I want people to be free.

Patrick Mouratoglou

It's time to realise that tradition is fantastic but if because of tradition and only tradition you lose everyone it's less fantastic so you have to keep some tradition to this sport of course but you also have to live in your century.

Patrick Mouratoglou

A very good leader is someone who has a great team, it's all about the team. You only have 12 hours or 14 hours a day, if the people that are with you are doing a great job, you can have a great business. If not, it's not going to work.

Patrick Mouratoglou

I don't think any player will miss a grand slam if they can play.

Patrick Mouratoglou

A game is a game. I don't think we will change... should have shorter sets. No, do simple things to let people enter through a door that makes them be excited. If you let all the players express themselves, show who they are.

Patrick Mouratoglou

But my team is great. I think the spirit we have and the quality of the people make it what it is.

Patrick Mouratoglou

If you look at the figures, the average age of the tennis fan is 62 years old.

Patrick Mouratoglou

If we don't know who is who because everyone is behaving the same then it's boring. We don't think it's boring because we love tennis. But bring someone who doesn't love tennis and they will think it's incredibly boring.

Patrick Mouratoglou

I think I had a lot of impact on every player. Maybe it sounds cocky, but if I don't feel I have an impact or a big impact, I wouldn't be able to be excited about my work every day.
