Sinner: "Darren Cahill is like a second father to me"

With powerful words, Jannik Sinner recently spoke about Darren Cahill, his coach, in an interview with Sky Sport.

"He's kind of like a second dad to me. In crucial moments, Darren is fundamental, especially mentally. He knows all the scenarios inside out, on and off the court. I talk a lot with him about what I'm feeling and what's important to me.

He's definitely a key person for the whole team. He and Simone Vagnozzi are different, but the combination of the two is incredible: so I'm very happy to have them."

For reference, Darren Cahill (Australian) was a former professional player: world No. 22 at his best. Now a coach, he coached Lleyton Hewitt (1993-2001) and Agassi (2002-2006) among others, before collaborating with Sinner starting in June 2022.
