The story between Jannik Sinner and Darren Cahill has come to an end. This was officially announced today by the Italian through an emotional video shared on his social media. It was rumored that the Australian would hold out until Roland Garros, but both have decided to end their successful partnership in 2026, having achieved 5 Grand Slams, all the Masters 1000, the ATP Finals, and the number one in the world.

And once this phase is over, a new one has begun. After months of speculation about Cahill's successor, where the name Juan Carlos Ferrero was prominently mentioned, it was confirmed a few days ago that Sinner's new coach, who will partner with Simone Vagnozzi, will be Magnus Norman, who until now was the coach of the retired Stan Wawrinka and previously of Robin Soderling. But today the Swede made it official through his academy's Instagram.

After Soderling and Wawrinka, Norman takes on the challenge of coaching Sinner

“First of all, I have great respect for the work that Darren Cahill and the whole team have done with Jannik Sinner over the years. They have done an incredible job, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to build on what they have achieved,” began the Nordic's letter.

He then explained the reasons that led him to join the Italian's team: “Jannik is obviously already one of the best players in the world, but what excites me the most is his personality and mindset. He is still young, very humble, and incredibly eager to learn and improve, despite all that he has already achieved. For me, that is what makes working with him so exciting. I look forward to being part of his team and contributing in any way I can to his ongoing development,” concluded Norman.

 

One of the main goals for the Swede will be to maintain Sinner's competition with Carlos Alcaraz in the battle to be the best tennis player in the world, but above all, he will need to help the Italian improve his physical performance in long matches, especially in five-set Grand Slam encounters. As well as a better selection of the Italian's calendar.

It is worth noting that Jannik Sinner's last official match was on July 13, the day he defended his title as Wimbledon champion against Alexander Zverev. Since then, the Italian has withdrawn from tournaments due to a right knee injury, such as the Masters 1000 in Canada and Cincinnati and the US Open, until he announced before the start of the Asian tour that he would not return to the circuit until early 2027.
