Sinner-Cahill, does the coach stay with Jannik? Last from Wimbledon

Team that wins does not change. It also applies to tennis, or at least that’s what Jannik Sinner (today in the field against Vukic for the 2nd round) and Simone Vagnozzi, who are continuing to continue the persuasion work on Darren Cahill to make him remain also beyond the end of 2025: “Every day we throw a joke there – said the Italian technician at the beginning of the tournament -. We will see later if he will work. Very important, also because we often end up spending entire days together “. Come on and I ridai, among the vialetti of Wimbledon circulates the rumor that the Australian coach is about to capitulate. Beyond the courtship, of the always convivial climate that you breathe when the trio is at work, the last few months, between suspension, return and farewell to Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio, make it necessary to make the situation safe. For this reason Darren, nicknamed “Dad Darren” by the many Italian fans, could decide to remain even beyond the end of the season. How much terms it is not yet known. It could remain only to manage the handover, perhaps leaving after Australia. Other rumors instead speak of a “tutor” cahill that gives one hand only on the organizational part of the team.

Three years ago the first Slam together, and was in Wimbledon. Jannik Sinner was Top 10 and for a few months he had started his adventure with Simone Vagnozzi after ending the experience at the Academy of Riccardo Piatti in Bordighera. There he was “born” as a tennis player and raised as a professional until he entered the elite. But Sinner, not one who is satisfied, had much more than one place in the top ten in the world in the sights. After the first months with Simone Vagnozzi, his management (left that too, now everything is in the hands of Alex Vittur, the family councilor) had decided to include a coach of experience in the Sinner project, who could help the entire team to grow. The arrival of Darren Cahill next to Jannik was the quadrature of the circle. And while the South Tyrolean improved technically on the field, on the other it could count on the experience and wisdom of the coach who made more than a number 1: first Lleyton Hewitt, then Andre Agassi (who also conquered the last Square Slam with him) and finally Simona Halep. Sinner in that first Wimbledon together, had beaten Carlos Alcaraz and put in difficulty Novak Djokovic in the semifinal, going on two sets before he was sucking by the Serbian phenomenon, then champion against Nick Kyrgios. Cahill, who is among the most esteemed people on the circuit, had turned to Nole to ask how he had seen his new pupil and he replied listed all the defects of the game of the South Tyrolean virgulty: “Jannik strikes the ball very well, but there is no variation – said Nole to Cahill -. Few changes of trajectory, no height above the net, does not seek me, does not try to bring me into the field. Attack my service, it doesn’t hurt. ” With this confirmation, Cahill and Vagnozzi had continued to forge the future number 1 in the world. Many joys but, in the last year and a half, also pains. In January, during a post match interview, Sinner had let himself be escaped that the Australian would leave the team at the end of the year: “After making the indiscretion public – said Cahill – Jan returned to the changing rooms by putting my hands in the hair and saying ‘I made a huge mistake’ but I told him everything was ok”. Darren has always remained next to Sinner in recent months. He helped him in training and returning to the circuit after suspension for doping, as a parent who teaches his son to walk. One step after another: “It is still a long year, he is truly a good boy – said the coach at Roddick’s podcast -. This year I will turn 60 and a moment arrives when you understand that it is time to stop. The plan was that this would have been my last year, but a year is very long. I am having a lot of fun working with him, and even my role adapts to the first coach, who is one of the in the world “. Together, it’s better.
