Sinner parts ways with coach Darren Cahill

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 10:50 · Archive

World number two Jannik Sinner has ended his coaching partnership with Australian Darren Cahill after five seasons. In a video posted on Instagram, Sinner thanked Cahill, saying: 'A large part of who I am, as a player and as a person, I owe to you. Of these five seasons, I won't forget a single day. Thank you, my friend, for everything. It has been a privilege.'

Former world number two Magnus Norman is reported to be taking over as Sinner's head coach. The 50-year-old Swede previously guided compatriot Robin Soderling to the top five in the rankings and two French Open finals, and Swiss player Stan Wawrinka to three grand slam titles. Norman will work alongside assistant coach Simone Vagnozzi, who has been with Sinner since 2022.

Cahill, a veteran coach who has guided four players to world number one, initially expected to leave in 2025 but stayed on for another year. At Wimbledon in July, he said he would remain until the end of 2026 before discussing his future. Sinner has been out of action with a persistent knee injury since winning his fifth grand slam title at Wimbledon in July. He is expected to make his comeback in December at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia.
