Simona Halep is temporarily disqualified for doping and will miss Roland Garros-2023, but Patrick Muratoglu has no problems finding a job and will be at the cash register of one of the favorites for the Paris Grand Slam.

Coco Gauff led by Patrick Muratoglu at Roland Garros 2023

Left without a coach after the end of her association with Diego Moyano, Gauff (WTA No. 6) announced that Muratoglu will join her at the French Open.

A finalist last year in Paris (she was defeated by Iga Svyatek), Koko studied at the academy of the French technician from the age of 10.

“I started after Madrid and it helps me until the end of the clay season. Honestly, I’m looking for a coach. I couldn’t find a full-time coach.

Apparently he is still with Holger (Run). But I have a great relationship with Patrick. I’ve known him since I was 10 years old and obviously I’ve been on the field with him before.

I thought she would be the perfect person to help me through this time. I’m looking forward to the next two weeks with him” – Coco GaufTennis Majors reports.

Gauff is not in the best shape, and the opponents of the last period (Paula Badosa, Leila Fernandez) admitted that they took advantage of the American’s weaknesses (especially the forehand).

Although he officially parted ways with Holger Roon, Patrick Muratoglu was still close to the Dane and is likely to help him at Roland Garros.
