Bet on Aussie super coach Cahill staying with Sinner
Australian super coach Darren Cahill may end up doing a U-turn and continue to mentor new Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner after losing a bet with his brilliant young Italian charge. It's now possible that the 23-year-old's breakthrough triumph in the grass-court slam could lead to the pair still being in harness when Sinner defends his Australian Open title in Melbourne in January. Cahill had already announced he was planning to quit as co-coach to the world No.1 at the end of this year - but Sinner has made it clear all season that he'd love the 59-year-old to remain a key part of his team alongside Italian Simone Vagnozzi. After all the hours together, Sinner shares a moment with his team to celebrate this momentous occasion 🫶#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 13, 2025 To that end, Sinner had a wager with his Adelaide mentor on the eve of his Wimbledon final victory over Carlos Alcaraz. "Darren told me, 'if you win tomorrow, you can decide whether or not I stay on as coach'. So now the choice is mine!," Sinner revealed. "Let's just say I won the bet, and so we'll see what happens." Cahill has explained that after a long coaching career, family considerations and the demands of global travel lie behind his decision to call it a day after guiding not just Sinner but also Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Simona Halep to No.1 in the world. The in-demand coach isn't planning to link up with any other player, and Sinner acknowledged that if Cahill did stay on, he probably wouldn't be able to spend as much time with him and Vagnozzi at tournaments around the world. But the Italian added: "The season is long. There are a lot of tournaments. You never know…" It seems like Sinner's team are still working on Cahill changing his mind. "If you ask me, I hope Darren stays next year and that we can still have continuity. I'm trying to convince him, let's see," Vagnozzi had said in May. "He and I have found a balance, and we have integrated well. There are departments where maybe I do more, and departments where he does more. But we have integrated well, we hope to convince him."

Ball in Jannik Sinner's Court After Winning Bet Against Coach Darren Cahill
Ball in Jannik Sinner's Court After Winning Bet Against Coach Darren Cahill originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jannik Sinner's gritty win over Carlos Alcaraz to snag his first Wimbledon title was a huge moment for him, but anyone who's followed his journey knows he didn't do it alone. Behind that calm demeanor on Centre Court is a rock-solid coaching team led by Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi. Advertisement Funny enough, earlier this year, Sinner actually said that Cahill was planning to hang it up at the end of the season. But now, with that shiny Wimbledon trophy in his hands, there's a new twist: thanks to a little bet they made, the ball's back in Sinner's court, and Cahill's retirement plan might just be on hold. Following the match, Sinner shared an update on a bet that he made with Cahill which might force him to rethink his retirement plans. The 23-year-old said, 'We made a bet before the final… I told him that if I won, I could choose whether he would stay at the end of the year or not. Now the choice is mine.' Cahill is no stranger to coaching elite talent. He has previously coached the likes of Andre Agassi and Simona Halep, to name a few. However, he has had the most profound impact on Sinner and shaped him into a world-class talent. Advertisement Sinner also spoke about what Cahill means to him, saying he's always wanted someone honest in his corner not just for tennis advice but for life in general, through the wins and the tough losses. That's exactly what Cahill gives him. Sinner joked that if he decides to stick with Cahill now, he knows his coach probably won't be on the road as much, which is fair enough after all these years.

With plenty of tournaments still ahead this season, they'll still see each other a lot anyway. And with a grin, he reminded everyone, 'I won the bet so now we'll see!'

Wimbledon: No. 1 Jannik Sinner has a medical timeout for a painful elbow after a fall
Jannik Sinner was treated for a painful right elbow by a trainer at Wimbledon during a medical timeout in the second set while trailing in his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov on Monday. The No. 1-ranked Sinner was given a pill to take and received a massage at a changeover while down 3–2 in the second set at Centre Court. Sinner hadn't dropped a set in the tournament until Monday's opener, which No. 19 seed Dimitrov took 6–3. Sinner was hurt when he slipped and fell behind a baseline, bracing his fall with his right hand while still holding his racket. As the trainer rubbed the elbow, Sinner winced. His coaches, Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi, looked on from their box with concern. Sinner entered Monday having lost a total of just 17 games in the tournament, tying the record for the fewest in the Open era by a man at Wimbledon through three completed matches.
