		</div><p>Former world number one Simona Halep has acquired the services of Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou.</p>
<p>Frenchman Mouratoglou says he accepted Halep’s offer to mentor her full time after receiving the approval of Williams, who he has coached for the last 10 years.</p>
<p>Williams is currently on the sidelines due to injury.</p>
<p>Mouratoglou, who has mentored several top players such as Stefanos Tsitsipas and Coco Gauff, will take up his new role with the Romanian on Tour in Madrid in May.</p>
<p>“In the last eight months I realised how much I’ve missed coaching,” Mouratoglou said on Twitter. “It is the passion of my life and I still feel I have so much to give.</p>
<p>“Simona came to the Mouratoglou Academy before Indian Wells for a training block. I swung by at a few of her practices, watched her train.</p>
<p>“At the end of the week, she asked me if I was available to coach her. I have the highest respect for her but it was out of the question at the time.</p>
<p>“A few weeks later, I had a conversation with Serena and the door opened for me, at least short term, to work with someone else.”</p>
<p>The 30-year-old Halep, who was Wimbledon champion in 2019, announced her split with long-time coach Darren Cahill last September. She is now ranked 20 in the world.</p>
