Serena Williams’ coach Mouratoglou: Future number one

One person who thinks Andreescu will soon be the new number one is Serena’s coach Patrick Mouratoglou. The Frenchman while speaking before the US Open final said he was not surprised by Andreescu’s rise and that she was a future number one. Mouratoglou said of Andreescu, “As I said before the tournament, I had been asked who are my two underdogs, and I said Bianca and Medvedev. So I’m not surprised she’s there. I expected her in final, and I think she’s going to be No. 1 soon. I mean, not too soon but in the future, because she has everything that’s needed to be No. 1. A lot of respect for her. As you said, a lot of tools in her game. Like a really complete game.”

Current Number one

Andreescu currently trails world number one Ashleigh Barty by 1,666 points, but she has also 749 points less than the Australian in the year to date rankings. With the Grand Slam tournaments for the year completed, an important tournament with will be the World Tennis Association Finals which start on October 28 in China. The tournament will feature the top eight players in the world who will battle for the title and an estimated $4.7 million dollars in prize money- the most to be awarded to one player in a tennis event. Going undefeated in the tournament will earn a player 1,500 points and the tournament will be a deciding factor in who ends the year ranked number one.
