Darren Cahill, Jannik Sinner’s coach, finally broke his silence after the final of the Internazionali d’Italia, revealing the truth behind the defeat of the young Italian talent and arousing great empathy among the fans. Cahill revealed that Sinner had been battling a nagging leg injury just before the match, an obstacle that made his performance on such a demanding surface as clay even more difficult.
“Before the match, Jannik suffered a small leg injury that severely limited his mobility. Playing on clay, where every step counts and stability is key, became an even more difficult challenge with this physical problem,” Cahill explained.
The coach asked everyone to recognize Sinner’s value and commitment: “We want the fans to know that, despite everything, Jannik gave his all. It was a huge effort, showing heart and determination, and we hope that this will be appreciated by everyone.”
Cahill was also full of praise for his rival: “Carlos Alcaraz played an extraordinary match. His talent and command of clay are evident, he was a truly formidable opponent, and Sinner faced a very high level athlete.”
These words calmed the critics and increased respect for Sinner, who, despite not winning the title, showed great professionalism and fighting spirit until the last point.
Thanks to this transparency, fans have learned to appreciate even more the spectacle offered by both players, protagonists of an exciting match that confirmed their value in the world tennis scene.
