Recognizing Djokovic’s initial struggles, they anticipated a formidable push from the Serbian player in the later sets. “We knew that Novak was struggling in the first couple of sets. Everybody could see that. But we also knew that Novak was going to make a huge push in the third and fourth sets. He [Sinner] did an amazing job,” they noted.
Sinner’s work ethic, purpose, desire, and willingness to learn were commended, with the coaches’ drawing parallels between him and other great champions in the game. Darren Cahill, one of Sinner’s coaches, emphasized, “The work ethic, purpose, desire, willingness to learn, tennis IQ of all those champions is fantastic. Jannik has all that. He’s got the qualities I believe that a lot of the great champions in the game have, but you’ve got to start winning to let that come to fruition.”
The coaches acknowledged Sinner’s progress, citing a strong finish to the previous year and the confidence gained from his achievements. “So, he’s making little steps. He had a good finish to the year last year. He gained a lot of belief from what he was able to do,” said Cahill, underscoring the importance of these incremental advancements in Sinner’s burgeoning career.
