Talking Zenith watches and tennis with the GOAT coach Patrick Mouratoglou

Talking Zenith watches and tennis with the GOAT coach Patrick Mouratoglou

Zach Blass

Two of my favourite things in the world are watches and tennis. Lucky for me, I got the chance to catch up with Zenith “friend of the brand” and GOAT tennis coach and entrepreneur Patrick Mouratoglou. He has only helped cultivate tennis champions such as Serena Williams, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, Marcos Baghdatis, Jérémy Chardy, Grigor Dimitrov, Holger Runes, and more.

Before hitting the court, where I would later get to have a surreal practice session with Patrick and top ATP player Casper Ruud, Patrick and I discussed what he likes about Zenith watches, how he came to purchase our Zenith x Time+Tide Night Surfer El Primero, and whether or not tennis players should wear watches during match play. But it is not all watch talk; we also dug into the psychology of tennis and the keys to success in life both on and off the tennis court.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the video, and be sure to leave us a comment!
