Overview
- After losing to Jakub Mensik in the Doha quarterfinals, Jannik Sinner flew overnight to California and will contest Indian Wells with Darren Cahill as his only coach.
- Sinner’s other coach, Simone Vagnozzi, has returned home and is set to rejoin the team in Miami for the second leg of the Sunshine Double.
- The camp is emphasizing physical work and added tactical variety following routine checks at J Medical that reportedly revealed no specific issues.
- Sinner says he is experimenting with new elements even at the cost of short‑term results, framing recent defeats as a manageable phase he knows how to navigate.
- Indian Wells begins March 4; Sinner has not advanced beyond the semifinals there, with past losses to Carlos Alcaraz, and he sees a chance to bank points with no defenses due, as figures like Rick Macci publicly back his trajectory.
