Coach Patrick Mouratoglou has been updating fans about the development on the training of rumored girlfriend Serena Williams, who's on a historic run to become the most dominant women's tennis player of all time, on his Instagram account.
The Frenchman's Instagram account didn't really quell the rumors that the coach is dating the world's number one.
In fact, Patrick Mouratoglou shared on Instagram an article by Christopher Clarey for The New York Times without denying the contention in the piece that they are dating.
Clarey wrote, "There is no doubt that Williams was a great tennis player before Mouratoglou, the ambitious Frenchman with the salt-and-pepper stubble, became her coach and, according to reports, her on-again, off-again boyfriend."
"But there is also no denying that with his support and presence in the players' box, she has put together the most productive three-year stretch of her career, adding tactical and technical variety to her power game," the journalist added.
One of the coach's followers commented on the relationship between Serena Williams and rumored boyfriend Patrick Mouratoglou, "really awesome article about two awesome personalities! love it! and the article also pointed out really well: they will never make their relationship status public, what i think is really wise. would be 'food' for the media, and the media and the public should focus on one thing: Tennis :) I personally would love you two to be together."
Four days ago, another photo was shared on Instagram showing Serena Williams practicing on court under the watchful eye of rumored boyfriend Patrick Mouratoglou. He captioned the image, "Wimbledon 2015. Preparing the 2nd round."

Serena Williams has a very good chance of surpassing Steffi Graf's record of 22 singles titles as she only trails behind by two wins.
In the New York Times piece, Patrick Mouratoglou didn't address the rumors that he's dating Serena Williams but he said that he's focused on being a coach first, "I am still able to step back, and I manage well not to mix everything together," he said.
