Cahill on Agassi: "Everything changed when Steffi Graf came into his life"
Darren Cahill, current coach of Jannik Sinner, was a guest on Caroline Garcia's Tennis Insider Club podcast.
Cahill also previously coached Andre Agassi. For him, one event in the American's life changed everything.
He states: "The relationship between Agassi and tennis has always been complicated, as has been written in the book about him.
It was very difficult for him to find a balance between the satisfaction of victory and the pain of defeat. The latter always prevailed, which is why he suffered so much.
Everything changed when Steffi Graf came into his life, an incredible person, of course, not just in terms of tennis, but also as a woman.
He found the necessary balance in his personal life. He met an incredible woman who gave him a purpose beyond tennis, like all their charitable work.
He started playing for that very reason: to become better, to help others. He is an extraordinary person, incredibly intelligent."
