After Vagnozzi and Cahill were named the winners of the ATP Coach of the Year Award last year, Sinner said, “I’m talking in general, but I think the tactical part is more for Simone.”

It’s somewhat more of Darren’s responsibility to handle the emotional part, speak appropriately prior to the game, and instill confidence in the team as well as in myself.

However, I think their combination works well. They really respect one another, you know. They stay in the same line because no one wants to cross it.”

After notably assisting Lleyton Hewitt in winning the US Open more than 20 years ago, Cahill has a distinguished history of assisting tennis players in reaching the pinnacle of the sport. He has also had success working with players such as Andre Agassi and Simona Halep.

Sinner’s commanding victory against Djokovic set up a decisive match against world No. 3 Medvedev. Cahill emphasized that Sinner, who finished 2023 with 64 wins and 15 defeats, possesses every quality those previous champions possessed in abundance.

“The work ethic, purpose, desire, willingness to learn, tennis IQ… Jannik has all that,” Cahill stated.

He possesses the attributes that I think many of the greatest players in the history of the game possess, but winning is a prerequisite for it to happen.

He’s walking quite slowly, then. Last year, he had a strong end to the year. The things he accomplished gave him a great deal of confidence.”

Who are Jannik Sinner’s coaches?

Since 2022, when former tennis star Simone Vagnozzi joined the team in response to Riccardo Piatti’s departure, Sinner has been led by his countryman.

Shortly after, the legendary Australian Darren Cahill, also known by his nickname “Killer,” joined the team. The two trainers combined to create a deadly force that aided Sinner in his ascent to the top.
