The partnership between and has been very successful so far, with the Frenchman reaching his maiden Grand Slam semifinal at the Australian Open. Pouille will face the world No.
1 Novak Djokovic on Friday. Mauresmo, who stepped down from the Davis Cup captaincy, admitted that the attention from media was much bigger when she worked with Andy Murray from 2014 to 2016. It was also the first time, it was four or five years ago so things changed a little, not that much, Mauresmo told AusOpen website.
Lucas wasnt such a high-profile player as Andy was at the time, so the attention was not as big. Its becoming bigger now because hes in the semis but for me I dont really care about this to be honest, I just make sure we do the right job every day and thats what matters.
Mauresmo also praised for all the support he gave to womens tennis: Hes been really outspoken about equality, about women being able to coach, whether a male player or a female player.
Hes been really proactive in this area, so its definitely going to be one thing that people remember about him. And the fact that he hired me at the time probably put the idea, at least in Lucas mind maybe, to think, Yeah, maybe she can help me.
