Serena Williams might be still the world no. 1, but this is not helping her in this moment.
The American displayed a rather odd behavior while playing doubles in Wimbledon with her sister. Serena was disoriented, unfocussed and she even start to cry on court before retiring (article). She said that the problem was a bug, but it is clear to everybody that there is something else.
The rumors
There are all sorts of theories about Serena’s problems. Some say she is pregnant (see article), some others say she parted way from Mouratoglou (her coach and partner).
Mouratoglou himself stepped out to comment “Serena is clearly going through a difficult period. But after Wimbledon we had many hours of discussions and we have restarted our work. Today, she is in a state of mind where she wants to train hard to come back strong. At no time was there any question of our collaboration ending.
There were complicated things and it is true that Serena is in a difficult phase, but I’ll leave it there.”
