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.

Cahill comes across as a genuinely nice person. Grounded and realistic. Plenty of common sense. If one listens to his commentary, his analysis of tennis is consistently more concise and precise than most others. And he's one of the few announcers that never says anything about the way to hit a tennis ball that defies the laws of physics.
Sinner is very lucky to have him as a coach.

Think he also coached Halep, while she was no. 1 IIRC. Top coach.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
