Yannick Sinner became the player of the season in men’s tennis: he reached the final of the Tournament of Champions and won the Davis Cup. Coach Darren Cahill spoke about the qualities that make the Italian a unique player and explained why he is confident he will succeed on the ATP circuit.

Yannick Sinner has the ability to adapt to any situation, says Darren Cahill

Yannick has had plenty of wins against top 10 ATP players this season (beating Novak Djokovic twice in just ten days) and Cahill talked about how he has improved his game over time.

“He understands the game better and better, knows his body and knows how to interpret all the signals. Physically, he has developed a lot, he is much stronger, more durable and faster. This is the work that matters.

The win in Toronto (not his first Masters title) was a confidence booster, as were each of his wins over Top 10 and Top 5 players. I’m not surprised at the level he played in the last two weeks of the season because I know how much he loves the sport and how hard he works.

He has learned a lot in the last two years and his improvement has also been evident in some shots, such as the lapel. He also polished his stuff on the forehand, which is one of the most impressive I’ve seen in my career.

From now on, I know he is willing to do whatever it takes to continue to improve. He is willing to make technical, tactical, nutritional adjustments and anything else you can ask of him.

His greatest asset is his ability to adapt to any situation and he’s a very mature lad for his age, so he reminds me a bit of how Bjorn Borg and Mats Wilander handled pressure. He’s always smiling, he’s very smart and competitive, and he creates a very good atmosphere wherever he goes.” – Darren Cahillin an interview with Corriere dello Sport.

Yannick Sinner will be successful regardless of the coaches that go with him

At the beginning of his career, Sinner studied with the legendary Riccardo Piatti, but surprised many when he decided to work with Simone Vanozzi, who was unknown at the time. Darren Cahill is also part of the Italian’s team, but he says he will achieve results regardless of the coach who will be by his side.

“For Yannick to have a coach like Simone is a real blessing because I am convinced he will become one of the best coaches in the world. It is an honor to train with him, I understand what my role is and how my experience can help us all row in the same direction.

I think Sinner came in with a very good foundation thanks to Piatti and he did a really good job of having more voices in his team and changing the situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years he realizes that he needs something else from me, for example. I know that he will have great success, regardless of the coaches who will come with him” – Darren Cahill.

“When he got injured last year in Paris-Berce and couldn’t play in the Davis Cup, I realized how much he cared about his country because he was really devastated. I would say that for next season his main priority is none other than the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. It is an event that I have already marked in red on the calendar because Yannick likes to represent Italy” – Darren Cahill.
