In an interview to Marca, Serena Williamss coach commented on the mens tennis, praising the Big 3 dominance. If we look at the last two seasons we realize that the old guard keeps being strong, said Mouratoglou at the Australian Open.
Rafa () won the French Open for the 11th time, Roger () is coming from winning the Hopman Cup and Novak () is back as a world No. 1. If they are close to their level, I do not see anyone who can beat them.
In order to win against them in a Grand Slam, younger guys need to first do it in little tournaments during the year but they are not doing it yet. Federer won the last two Australian Opens and at the US Open, the long matches influenced him.
He can definitely win here again. He played at a high level in Perth and he showed that he is one of the favourites. I do not think that age is affecting him, especially over the last weeks where he is moving in an unbelievable way.
On Stefanos Tsitsipass potential, Mouratoglou added: We need to be patient with Stefanos. Last year he improved his tennis. He won his first title in Stockholm, reached Barcelona and Toronto final, and he managed to deal with pressure at the NextGen ATP Finals final.
He achieved a lot but he has a margin to improve and there is a long way to go. I am very happy for Greek tennis, both with Tsitispas and Maria Sakkari. Their results will definitely encourage more kids and girls in the country to play tennis.
I think its the right moment to build a solid structure so that first class Greek players come up. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
