Serena Williams' coach and rumored boyfriend Patrick Mouratoglou mentioned on Twitter that he is returning to Paris after spending time in Australia during a recent tournament.

"Stop in Doha on my way back to Paris. I left France the 9th of december and will be back today," he posted on Twitter.

"Paris. France. Back to Mouratoglou Tennis Academy."

The French tennis legend listed Serena Williams' name to leave open the possibility of playing at the Indian Wells tournament she has boycotted since 2001, the New York Times reports.

"It's an option," Mouratoglou said regarding her involvement, according to the newspaper.

"It can be yes, it can be no."

The American tennis star has not participated in the tournament because she and her sister Venus were booed during a final match where she defeated Kim Clijsters  - on her way out she heard racial slurs aimed at her father Richard.

Patrick Mouratoglou was featured in a EuroSport video where he gives the American tennis star's ex-boyfriend pointers on defeating Rafael Nadal.

The video was released on Tuesday.

Earlier this week, he posted on Titter asking criticizing those who stereotype women athletes, leaving many fans wondering if he was defending his rumored lover.

"Who said women were all playing the same game hitting every ball flat and being stereotypes ? I hear that every day and they prove wrong," he wrote.

Serena Williams recently tweeted about enjoying her mother's comfort food.

"Mama made fried chicken, Mac and cheese, yams, broccoli, and lots more.

#comfortfood yummy. I love mommy," she wrote on Twitter.

Last week, Patrick Mouratoglou posted a Facebook photo of the American tennis star in  a pink Nike tennis ensemble.

"Just before Serena's match during the warmup," Patrick Mouratoglou captioned the photo.

"Wow, isn't this lady Fashionista....?" a fan responded to the photo.
