The Magic of the Ordinary Day Many people spend their lives searching for extraordinary experiences and grand adventures. They seek out thrilling moments and unforgettable encounters, believing that these are the things that will bring them ultimate happiness and fulfillment. However, in their pursuit of the extraordinary, they often overlook the magic that can be found in the ordinary day. It is in the small moments, the everyday occurrences, that true magic can be found. The sunrise that paints the sky in shades of pink and orange, the sound of birds chirping outside your window, the warmth of a cup of coffee in your hands – these are the things that make life truly special. In our fast-paced and busy world, it is easy to take these ordinary moments for granted.
Patrick Mouratoglou knows a thing or two about winning: He coached Serena Williams for a decade and, more recently, has been working with Simona Halep and Holger Rune. But what’s the X factor that separates a champion from a mere player with talent? We asked him about that—and about why he set out to shake up the sport with his Ultimate Tennis Showdown tour, which takes place this weekend in LA.
Mouratoglou, who has also coached Serena Williams, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Coco Gauff, showed support for his player at the time but there has not been a lot of noise since. Halep was being coached by Mouratoglou when she tested positive for the banned substance roxadustat, after losing in the first round of the US Open last year.
In our fast-paced and busy world, it is easy to take these ordinary moments for granted. We rush through our days, always focused on the next big thing, never fully present in the here and now. But when we slow down and pay attention, we can see that there is beauty and wonder in the ordinary.
Rune coach pstrick
Holger Rune has announced his partnership with coach Patrick Mouratoglou has come to an end, fuelling rumours about the potential return of Simona Halep after a doping suspension.
Rune started working with Mouratoglou back in early October, following Halep’s suspension, and has gone on to find success under the Frenchman’s supervision.
The 19-year-old went on to win his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Paris and by doing so became the first man ever, other than at the ATP finals, to beat five top 10 players in the same event.
As a result Rune climbed into the top 10 himself, becoming the highest ranked Danish man in history.
Mouratoglou released a statement on social media signalling the end of his partnership with the No.8, “ Holger! We’ve successfully completed our mission and ended up having an incredible 6-month adventure, exceeding our original plan of 3 months. I have no doubt that your is bright. I remain your biggest fan and I keep an eye on you with the @MouratoglouAcad team.”
Rune also took to Twitter to thank Mouratoglou, “I had the opportunity to borrow Patrick for a limited period and we have had 6 educational and fun months together. Now it’s time to move on and use the learning on my own. Thank you Patrick for some great months together.”
The use of the word ‘borrow’ has got people talking, with some suggesting this could be an indication of Halep’s return.
Halep was being coached by Mouratoglou when she tested positive for the banned substance roxadustat, after losing in the first round of the US Open last year.
The Romanian has denied ever ‘knowingly’ taking the substance, and described her suspension as ‘the biggest shock’ of her life.
Mouratoglou, who has also coached Serena Williams, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Coco Gauff, showed support for his player at the time but there has not been a lot of noise since.
There were reports of a potential hearing at the end of February, but other than that the two-time Grand Slam champion’s return date is currently unknown.
