In today’s day and age where technology is influencing the sporting world, coaches play a crucial role. They can help draw insights with the use of various technological tools. Further, they help in developing not just the physical part of the game but also the mental aspect. Ask Jannik Sinner, who has not one, but two coaches on his team.

The Italian star is coached by both, Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill. Each of them brings different aspects to the table, enhancing Sinner’s game overall. However, he is one of the very few players having more than one coach on his team.

Jannik Sinner prefers to hear different voices

The Italian youngster is having some of the best times of his tennis career. Owing to his consistent performances, he has reached a career-high ranking of 4. Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill have been working with Jannik Sinner since 2022 and their guidance has propelled the 22-year-old to new heights.

The reason for Sinner having two coaches is the opportunity to have different voices guiding him. Additionally, not every coach travels to every tournament, so when one is missing, the other can cover up for him.

Further, Vagnozzi and Cahill have different roles in Sinner’s team. While the former enhances the physical and technical aspects of Sinner’s game, Cahill is more about the mental aspects of it. Nonetheless, the two work in tandem and form a part of the complete team.

Talking about his team, Sinner once said, “Everyone knows very well what he has to do. I feel good with them and lucky to have them, so I think it is a very good team. Everyone is very important for me because for me it’s sometimes also good to mix it up a little bit.” While Sinner has praised his team, his coaches have also spoken highly about him.

Cahill has full faith in Sinner’s potential

The legendary coach believes that Sinner can achieve big things in the future if he continues working hard. Having been together for more than a year, Darren Cahill has known the Italian star’s true potential and considers him a future Grand Slam champion.

“I firmly believe that Jannik will win a Slam, this is the goal. I don’t know when, but he is capable of it. The Olympic Games are [also] a top priority for Jannik, who loves playing for Italy. The Olympics are already on our agenda,” Cahill said.

For now, Sinner has his Australian Open quarterfinal match on hand. He will take on Andrey Rublev in the last eight tomorrow.
