Darren Cahill has already achieved a lot as a coach

Jannik Sinner has already won 27 matches on the ATP tour this season, and the South Tyrolean is in 13th place in the current world rankings. And yet the season is not going quite as the 20-year-old wishes. Most recently at the French Open he had to give up against Andrey Rublev due to an injury as well as against Francisco Cerundolo in the quarterfinals in Miami. In Indian Wells, Sinner couldn't even compete againstNick Kyrgios in the round of 16.

Darren Cahill will probably not be able to work on this aspect of the total work of art Jannik Sinner. For the playful, the renowned Australian is certainly one of the best contacts in the tennis circus. Why is this important? Because according to Italian median information, Cahill should expand Team Sinner as a super coach in Eastbourne next week. Head coach remains Simone Vagnozzi, who surprisingly replaced Riccardo Piatti at Sinner's side at the beginning of the year.

Cahill leads Halep to Wimbledon victory

During his career, Cahill has already led Lleyton Hewitt to the top of the world rankings, accompanied André Agassi's great comeback and coached Simona Halep to victory at Wimbledon. At the start of the season, the Australian starred alongside Amanda Anisimova, whose 2022 campaign had started well after beating Naomi Osaka at the Australian Open. However, the connection quickly broke, and Cahill no longer wanted to be on the road for a whole year.

Which suggests that working with Jannik Sinner is only limited to a few weeks a year. As seems to be the case with Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl. In any case, Cahill Sinner could help with his offensive game: Darren Cahill himself was a proven volley specialist. An area in the Sinner game that has certainly not yet been exhausted.
