Darren Cahill, Sinner's co-coach: "He's done nothing wrong"

Speaking to ESPN, Darren Cahill, one of Sinner's key players, reflects on his player's difficult mental period.

Emphasizing the world number 1's resilience, Cahill even revealed what he had said to the Italian before the start of Sunday's US Open final (won 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 by the Transalpine): "Whatever happens, he's got to keep his head up because he hasn't done anything wrong, and we'll see what we can do.

It didn't happen without a lot of stress, there was a lot of stress.

Even before the final, I told him that the way he'd behaved in recent weeks was proof of honesty and resilience.

He must be very proud of himself."
