The n. 1 Divorce suddenly as a trainer and physiotherapist after only 9 months of collaboration
The absence of Marco Panichi in Halle had passed almost unnoticed, it could be a simple permit after the labors of Roland Garros and then recurred in Wimbledon. Alongside Jannik Sinner, who came out in the second round at the hands of a Bublik in a state of grace and then winner of the tournament, there were Darren Cahill and Ulyses Badio, the physiotherapist who together with the Roman trainer had worked since September last year with the number 1 team in the world. When at the beginning of the week in Wimbledon, however, Sinner showed up on the pitch only with the two coaches Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill and the osteopath Andrea Cipolla, who follows Jannik especially when there are surface changes during the season, the voice of a break between the player and his staff in charge of the body started circulating. Until he was also made official by Sinner’s entourage.

A sudden revolution, a tsunami within the team that already with the three months of suspension for the Cloostebol case had been put to the test. In reality, the malaise had been hatched for some time, and had perhaps heard precisely on the occasion of the return to the field of Sinner at the end of the disqualification. On the preparation of panichi and badio, who for years have been alongside Novak Djokovic, one who has made a religion care of the body, nobody has doubts. It seems, in fact, that the rupture is due to a difference in character, even of style. Jannik would not have liked some public releases, interviews not agreed by the trainer when the disqualification expires. Nothing compromising, no secret revealed, but at this level there is also a grain of sand in the gears because the nervousness starts to emerge. Sinner, who made confidentiality the distinctive sign of his career, would not have liked an excess of visibility of his teammates. Jannik was satisfied with the work done with the Italian-Argentine duo, and confirmed it even after the final of Roland Garros, where he remained on the field for five and a half hours without having suffered from the physical point of view. As often happens in relationships, coexistence has gradually become unsustainable and precisely the painful defeat of Paris would have blew the cap. The timing perhaps was not the most spot on, with a Slam on which the number 1 in the world aims a lot to recover after the French blow. Evidently the situation had come to a point of no return. Panichi and Badio have been working together for years, and breaking with both seemed the most logical choice by Jannik who took this decision autonomously.

And now? Today, even if it will not focus too much on the subject, Sinner will confirm the decision to stop the path with panichi and badio. For the rest of the tournament it will be onion to follow him, but it is almost sure that the place of athletic trainer will not remain vacant for a long time. Panichi and Badio had arrived after Jannik had decided to close the collaboration with Umberto Ferrara and Giacomo Naldi, involved in the case of negligence that the player cost the notorious three months of disqualification agreed with Wada. When Jannik was at the Bordighera Academy trained by Riccardo Piatti, followed by his growing physique was another solid couple of branch professionals such as the physiotherapist Claudio Zimaglia and the trainer Dalibor Sirola, who had put Zverev back after the very serious ankle injury three years ago. Now the two are in Wimbledon to work with Novak Djokovic.
