Cahill has in fact revealed that Sinner fought with an annoying leg injury right before the match, an obstacle that made his performance even more difficult on such a demanding surface such as the beaten earth.
“Before the game, Jannik accused a small leg injury that has a lot of limited his mobility. Playing on the batting earth, where every step counts and stability is fundamental, has become an even more difficult challenge with this physical problem,” explained Cahill.
The coach asked everyone to recognize Sinner’s value and commitment: “We want the fans to know that, despite everything, Jannik gave the best. It was a huge effort, demonstrating heart and determination, and we hope that this will be appreciated by everyone.”

These words have appeased criticism and increased respect for Sinner, who, even without conquering the title, showed great professionalism and combative spirit to the last point.
Thanks to this transparency, the fans have learned to appreciate even more the show offered by both players, protagonists of a compelling match that confirmed their value in the world tennis scene.
