As the US Open approaches, speculation surrounding Jannik Sinner’s coaching team has intensified. Italian publication La Repubblica recently reported that Darren Cahill, Sinner’s long-time coach, would not be present at the tournament. The article suggested Cahill was taking a short break, leaving Simone Vagnozzi to lead the charge in New York.

Brad Gilbert, a respected figure in the tennis world and former coach of Coco Gauff, quickly responded to the rumors. On social media, Gilbert labeled the report as “completely fake news,” directly contradicting the claims made by La Repubblica. His statement added clarity to the situation and reassured fans that Cahill remains committed to Sinner’s US Open campaign.
