Coach Darren Cahill broke the silence after the defeat of Jannik Sinner in the final of the International of Italy, offering a clear explanation that generated empathy among the fans. Cahill revealed that Sinner had a small leg injury before the game, which significantly hindered his performance, especially on a demanding surface such as beaten earth.
“Jannik had a small leg in the leg before the game and playing on the beaten earth, where mobility is fundamental and the falls are common, it becomes even more complicated with this type of physical problem,” explained Cahill.
The coach asked for understanding for the young Italian tennis player: “We want the fans to understand that he made his best despite the circumstances. It was a great effort and we hope it will be appreciated”.
Cahill also recognized the merit of Carlos Alcaraz in the victory: “Carlos played very well; he cannot deny his talent and his mastery of this surface. He was a formidable opponent and Sinner had to face a very high level player”.
Cahill’s statements calmed the critics and strengthened respect for Sinner, who, although failing to win the title, has shown professionalism and ability to fight to the end.
With this explanation, the fans also appreciate the efforts of both players, who offered a high -level game and demonstrated the quality that characterizes world tennis.
