Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 12:37 · Archive

Jannik Sinner has ended his five-year partnership with coach Darren Cahill and will team up with Magnus Norman in 2027.

Jannik Sinner has confirmed the end of his five-year partnership with coach Darren Cahill. The Italian has won five Grand Slam titles and spent 95 weeks as world No 1 under the guidance of the 61-year-old Australian, who worked alongside Italian Simone Vagnozzi.

Cahill had planned to retire at the end of last season but the pair made a bet that, if Sinner won the Wimbledon title, he could decide on his own future. Sinner won his second Wimbledon crown in July, and Cahill stayed on for another year. Sinner said: 'Darren has been an incredibly important part of my journey. I want to thank Darren for his belief in me, his honesty and his dedication. He has helped me grow both as a player and as a person, and his guidance will stay with me throughout my career.'

Swedish coach Magnus Norman will join Sinner's team in 2027, replacing Cahill whilst Vagnozzi remains. The 50-year-old Norman previously guided Stan Wawrinka to three Grand Slam titles and took Robin Soderling to the top five in the rankings and two French Open finals.
