‘I wanted to throw myself inside the fire,’ Jannik Sinner recounts decision to overhaul coaching team and the 2022 season that brought Darren Cahill

Jannik Sinner has become the biggest youngest sensation in tennis this year. Winning his maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open, the Italian cemented his spot as one of the best prodigies his country has ever produced. In a recent interview, he opened up about how he overhauled his coaching staff in 2022, which has helped him grab the ongoing red-hot form.

For context, by 2018 Sinner was playing in the Junior events while still at Piatti Tennis Academy. The following year, he decided to turn pro with Riccardo Piatti as his coach. His first ATP title came in Bergamo. Nine months later, he won the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals in style.
