Patrick Mouratoglou has not held back in voicing his opinion on whether women should play five sets in Grand Slams. Craig Tiley, director of the Australian Open, recently hinted at this happening in 2027, and the renowned coach has shared a similar view. "Women should play five sets to prove they can. I believe they can. That would put an end to the discussion on prize money equality for tournaments," he stated.
