Paris – A few minutes after the conclusion of the Roland Garros final, which saw Carlos Alcaraz triumph on Jannik Sinner in an intense and hard -fought match, the coach of the South Tyrolean, Darren Cahill, has left everyone stucco with a declaration of only five words aimed at Italian fans:“It’s not over yet, believe us.”
A simple but full of meaning, pronounced with firmness and passion. The Australian, visibly excited but determined, wanted to send a message of hope and trust in a delicate moment for Sinner, who fought hard but failed to conquer the title. However, his defeat did not delete the extraordinary path taken during the tournament, which saw him overcome opponents of the highest level and earn the respect of the public and experts.
Sinner’s reaction was not long in coming. At the press conference, the young Italian champion surprised everyone with an out of the ordinary maturity. “I know where I was wrong, but I don’t give up. This defeat motivates me even more. I thank Cahill and the whole team to believe in me. And above all thanks to the Italian fans: your support is my fuel.”
The words of Jannik deeply excited the spectators present and the millions of Italians who followed him from home. Humility, determination and desire to improve show that Sinner is not only an extraordinary talent, but also an example of sportiness and mental strength.
Darren Cahill, interviewed shortly after, added: “This is only a stop. Jannik is young, he still has a lot to give and the best still has to come. Let’s not forget that he faced a phenomenon like Alcaraz. The rivalry between them is only at the beginning.”
The Roland Garros 2025 therefore ends with a disappointment for Italy, but also with the awareness of having a champion to count on for the future. And with five words, Cahill has rekindled the hope of an entire country.
