All the details: The team behind Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner is a tennis star. The world number 8 and the one who will determine the future of the white sport after the retirement of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Together with Carlos Alcaraz, according to many experts. The round of XNUMX defeat in Rome doesn't change that.

Trainer, super coach, fitness trainer, physiotherapist and manager: Here we introduce the team behind Jannik Sinner.

Coach Simone Vagnozzi: On February 16, 2022, Sinner made the “divorce” from Piatti official. His new coach will be Simone Vagnozzi, who was a professional himself (best ranking 161) and spent 10 years of his career in South Tyrol and lived with Andreas Seppi in Kaltern during this time. The 39-year-old from Ascoli Piceno fits Sinner better in terms of age, takes part in almost all tournaments and in his short career as coach has led Marco Cecchinato to 18th place and Stefano Travaglia into the top 100.

Supercoach Darren Cahill: The 57-year-old Australian sat in the Sinner box for the first time at the grass tournament in Eastbourne last June. Former world-class player (22nd place) enjoys an excellent reputation as a coach. He led Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt to No. 1, rejected an offer from Roger Federer and also looked after Simona Halep, who became No. 2015 under him, from 2021 to 1.

Cahill was in Rome for the first time this clay court season. He stands calmly and thoughtfully behind the pitch, is an “inter pares” and doesn’t feel like a boss. Sinner appreciates that.

Conditioning coach Umberto Ferrara: After separating from Piatti, Sinner also had to end his collaboration with Claudio Zimaglia. Vagnozzi brought Ferrara on board last June, with whom he had already led Cecchinato to the semifinals of the French Open in 2018. Ferrara succeeded Paolo Cadamuro from Bolzano 11 months ago, who had briefly been Sinner's fitness coach.

Physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi: Last new addition to the Sinner team. The 33-year-old has been there since the tournament in Montpellier in February, which Sinner won, replacing the Frenchman Jerome Bianchi and before that he worked for the Virtus Bologna basketball team for 6 years. He won't be there in Rome, but will be back at the French Open. He will miss Wimbledon because he is getting married.

Manager Alex Vittur: Has known Jannik personally since 2013. The 39-year-old from Bruneck was a professional himself and made it to number 606 in the world rankings under coach Massimo Sartori in Kaltern alongside Andreas Seppi and Vagnozzi. Vittur is a family friend, Jannik's closest confidant on the tour, initially only worked as a consultant, but is now officially his manager. Every contract goes across his desk. Vittur takes part in the important tournaments as often as possible, even though he is the father of two small children. Most recently he has been to Miami, Monte Carlo and now Rome. The Grand Slam tournaments are firmly on the calendar. But always stays discreetly in the background.
