Darren Cahill Says Jannik Sinner Will Be the Last Player He Coaches

He will decide at season’s end whether to continue with Sinner beyond 2026.

Overview

  • In an interview with Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport, Cahill said he will not coach another player after his work with Sinner.
  • He added that he had not planned to coach in 2026 and that he and Sinner will revisit his role when this season ends.
  • Cahill pushed back on fans calling Sinner a robot, saying the world No. 1 plays by calculating risk yet craves speed and adrenaline off court.
  • The partnership began in 2022 and has produced four Grand Slam titles, nine Masters 1000 trophies and two ATP Finals victories.
  • Cahill’s record includes guiding Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Simona Halep to No. 1 and major titles, which raises the stakes for any future handover.
