Mouratoglou visited the Zenith premises at Le Locle in December 2019. “Patrick told me that his dream was to create his own watch, so I said he had to come over and visit the workshops,” said Tornare. The “Tornaroglou” (or “Mouratornare” if you prefer) project soon took off and eventually turned into a fine timepiece. Game, set, and match! Little details, big differences “The way Patrick works with young players is exactly what we have at Zenith: knowledge transmission.” “The coaching approach is super important for us, not just because Patrick enjoys great awareness among the fans but also because he completely embraces our philosophy,” Tornare explained. I bestowed upon Tornare the “Tornado” nickname precisely because of his own contagious energy. Mouratoglou is an outspoken serial entrepreneur, always thinking out of the box and trying to look ahead.
The rapport was instantaneous, which is quite understandable: watching them together, one would think they are related or even brothers – the physical similitude is evident, but there’s more to it than that, including empathy, understanding, and passion. Not only had Patrick reached his own star, but he helped others reach theirs,” Tornare told me. He gained worldwide recognition from the moment he started coaching Serena Williams in 2012, helping the American superstar become the best player of all time. Tornare was introduced to Mouratoglou, a French coach who at a relatively young age set up his own Academy in the outskirts of Paris.
“I was looking for a few friends of the brand to represent us met with a couple of agents and some very good players, then one of them told me that I had to meet Patrick because he would be so much in line with our mindset,” he recalls. He had set up a few meetings in the Players’ Terrace. I ran into Tornare that day at the All England Club.
