Jannik Sinner impressed and advanced to the semifinals of the Vienna Open with quality play, and the next challenge in the form of Alexander Zverev will certainly be interesting.
Jannik Sinner was frustrated after an injury at the Shanghai Masters, but he is back in style and has yet to drop a single set. Sinner has great momentum and seems to be well on his way back to the throne.
However, one topic that is often mentioned these days is his coach Darren Cahill, who will retire from the coaching scene at the end of this season. Jannik Sinner is a bit worried about Cahill's departure and has dilemmas about who could succeed him.
Simone Vagnozzi will remain his only coach, but it is important to find a collaborator for the Italian.
In an interview with the media, Sinner pointed out that the second figure is extremely important, given that Simone must have periods of rest.
He has an interesting period ahead of him, which he will use to talk with Vagnozzi, but Sinner probably already has some ideas about who could be his second coach.
“It's a topic we haven't discussed in detail yet. Darren has certainly given me so much, and I’m grateful to him for it. We’ll see together what to do—he was not just a coach for me, but much more,” -he said, as quoted by Tennis Up To Date.
“However, we must understand that he’s already 60 years old and has been doing this job for a long time, so we’ll see what can be done. With Vagnozzi, we haven’t talked yet about who the second coach might be, although a second figure is certainly necessary because it’s important for Simone to have periods of rest. We’ll discuss it and then decide calmly.”
Difficult decision
Decisions about who will be your coach are always difficult to make, especially when you are a tennis player of such caliber. Among the potential candidates, there will likely be only the most experienced coaches who have already had the opportunity to work with the best in this sport.
Sinner wants quality people in his team, people who can help him become world number 1 again and remain as dominant a figure in the future.
