Patrick Mouratoglou has responded to comments made by David Goffin about the crowd in Paris at Roland-Garros, with the tennis coach believing that passion is key in sport.<br/><br/>After facing French wildcard Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round, Goffin declared that the Roland-Garros atmosphere was “unhealthy” and this was “happening only in France.”<br/><br/>“I completely understand what he had to go through,” said Mouratoglou. “I know how difficult it is. I’ve been in this situation, not as a player, but as a coach.”<br/><br/>However, Mouratoglou believes this kind of intense fan engagement is not unhealthy–it’s sport! The best part of tennis is the emotion, and it’s something we should have more of, not less.<br/><br/>“I’ve heard several players complain about the atmosphere, that it was too much, that it was looking like a football match,” the coach explained. “Well, that’s what’s cool about football, no?”<br/><br/>KEY MOMENTS<br/>0.13 – Goffin facing a French player<br/>0.25 – Mouratoglou relates his experience with challenging crowds<br/>0.38 – Mouratoglou disagrees with Goffin’s claim that rowdy crowds are unhealthy<br/>0.50 – There is a minority of fans that behave problematically, and we need to take measures against them<br/>0:58 – Rude fans are not only in France, they’re found all over the world<br/>1:33 – Not everyone knows tennis, and some can’t control themselves during incredible points – we can’t prevent this<br/>1:48 – Sport is all about emotion<br/>2:09 – The atmosphere of Stan Wawrinka v Pavel Kotov was fantastic, no-one complained
