Milan, 10 Nov. (LaPresse) – “Every champion is different, but the quality I have seen in him over these five years is his curiosity and his constant desire to improve. He always asks a lot of questions to become a better tennis player and a better person, and he uses this information to become a better athlete and individual.” This was said by Darren Cahill, Jannik Sinner’s outgoing coach, during the “Be Like Sinner” event organised by Allianz Italia at the Allianz Tower in Milan, featuring a discussion with Sinner himself, Allianz Global Brand Ambassador, and Giacomo Campora, CEO of Allianz Italia. “With a champion like him, you have to earn his trust and confidence. He has always worked extremely hard and always believed in the team. He is the one who does 99% of the work, the one who decides what to do on the court, but coaches, physiotherapists and managers provide that final 1%, which is incredibly important in making the difference between a good tennis player and a great one,” he added. “When I first met him, I would have signed up for what we have achieved. I have no regrets. It has been an incredible journey, and the difficult moments have made us stronger. I am very proud of it,” Cahill continued. Finally, commenting on the choice of Magnus Norman as the new coach, he said: “I have great respect for Magnus. I was not involved in this decision, but that is fine,” he concluded.
