I told him that if I won, I could choose whether he would stay at the end of the year or not," Sinner discusses the possibility of keeping Cahill as his coach next year.
Jannik Sinner won his fourth Grand Slam title this Sunday by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final.
After a heartbreaking loss at Roland Garros, where he missed three match points, Sinner regained his momentum with a four-set victory, solidifying his status as the leader of the men's tour.
This success is also credited to his two coaches, Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi.
However, Cahill, who will turn 60 at the end of the year, had previously announced that 2025 would be his final season in coaching. A decision he might reconsider, as Sinner revealed in his post-match press conference:
"We made a bet before the final... I told him that if I won, I could decide whether he would stay at the end of the year or not. Now, it's my call! I’ve always looked for an honest person who brings a lot to me, not just on the court but also in life, in both success and disappointment. He’s amazing for that.
If I decide to keep him, he probably won’t travel as much. That’s normal. I’ve always told him I’d love for him to be in Australia because everything works well there. Plus, the season is still long, there are many tournaments left, and I’ll still see him often. But I won the bet, so we’ll see.
