“This Novak Djokovic Is Beatable”: Serena Williams’ Former Coach on When US Open Champion Is Vulnerable




Novak Djokovic continues to motor along virtually unchallenged even today. He added three Grand Slam titles to his kitty in 2023, reclaiming his World No.1 position. Doing all this at the age of 36 is no mean feat. Despite his achievements,

 Serena Williams’ former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, believes Djokovic is more beatable now, especially if he follows a certain mentality. Mouratoglou is not the first coach to claim that Djokovic was more threatening some years ago than now. Recently, Toni Nadal echoed similar sentiments.

 The French coach, however, commands a large following for his analysis, and his comments on Djokovic have piqued interest. Novak Djokovic beatable when he plays with negative mindset, says Mouratoglou Djokovic downed Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to win the 2023 US Open, his 24th Grand Slam title. This moved him to the top of the all-time list, level with Margaret Court.

 Mouratoglou believed in Grand Slam finals, there are two possible versions of Djokovic. One plays to win and the other plays to avoid a loss. He implied that the Serb lost the Wimbledon final because he played with the latter mentality, which is when he becomes beatable.


 Mouratoglou opined that the Serb dominated the final in New York because he played to win. He said Djokovic is the best player when he plays for victory.


 But when the World No.1 plays to avoid defeat, he becomes beatable. Mouratoglou said that the eventual champion came to ‘conquer’ and walked away with the US Open trophy.
