Darren Cahill chose to stay with Jannik Sinner’s team for another season. The Australian coach has guided him over the past three years, helping shape his path to the top. Few people know better how the Italian reached world number one and stayed there.

In a recent interview with ATP Tour Media, Cahill explained that Sinner’s progress has no secret formula. The key is consistent training, daily discipline, and always looking to improve. According to him, those habits turned talent into results, allowing Sinner to rise to the top and remain at the summit.

This is why we are so proud as coaches, because all the work we have been doing in the last three years finally shows up in the big matches, in the big tournaments, helping him always overcome the greatest challenges. We are not talking about four or five days of experiments, here it is a combination of work that has taken us years, but we were always there, pushing him every day, making sure he kept doing the right things

Meanwhile, in Spain, fans are counting the hours until 9:00 PM to watch the Cincinnati Masters final. On a Monday night, it will feel anything but ordinary. Once Carlos Alcaraz and Sinner step on court, their rivalry takes over, promising intensity and drama.

This is their first clash in a Cincinnati final, though they already carry plenty of history from recent battles. Both have taken titles from each other during the tour, leaving unfinished business. No matter who lifts the trophy in Ohio, the match is set to be a fierce fight.

Jannik Sinner’s new US Open mixed doubles partner revealed

Emma Navarro pulled out of the US Open mixed doubles, leaving Jannik Sinner without a partner. He will now team up with Katerina Siniakova, the former world No.1 in doubles and one of the most decorated players on the circuit.

Navarro’s withdrawal is linked to her schedule at the WTA 500 Monterrey Open. The qualifying rounds are already underway at Club Sonoma, with the main draw starting Monday, August 18, where Navarro is the top seed. Her hard-court results have been modest so far, winning only one match across three tournaments this summer. She fell early in Washington, Montreal, and Cincinnati, and she has never competed in doubles at a Grand Slam.

Siniakova, by contrast, brings vast experience. She owns 10 women’s doubles Grand Slam titles and added a Wimbledon mixed doubles crown earlier this year with Sem Verbeek. Her presence gives Sinner a proven partner for the event.

Even so, Sinner’s participation remains uncertain. He faces Carlos Alcaraz in the Cincinnati Masters final on Monday, just one day before his scheduled US Open mixed doubles opener with Siniakova against Alexander Zverev and Belinda Bencic. Alcaraz is in the same situation, set to play mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the Cincinnati showdown.

Jannik Sinner dominates French players

Jannik Sinner extended his dominance over French opponents in Cincinnati on Saturday. The world No.1 defeated Terence Atmane in straight sets to record his 22nd win in a row against players from France. This remarkable streak began in May 2021 and shows no sign of stopping.

The last Frenchman to beat him was Arthur Rinderknech, who shocked a young Sinner in Lyon four years ago. Since that loss, the Italian has handled every challenge from French players with ease. Veterans and newcomers alike have tried, but none have been able to break through.

Atmane entered his first Masters semifinal determined to change the story. The 22-year-old played aggressively, mixing power from the baseline with bold moves to the net. Still, Sinner’s precision and movement proved too strong. He absorbed the pressure, disrupted Atmane’s rhythm, and closed the match without hesitation.

The win highlights Sinner’s remarkable consistency across different tournaments and surfaces. French players have tested him in many settings, yet the outcome has remained the same. For Atmane, this semifinal could mark the beginning of a promising career. For Sinner, it is further proof that his control and composure set the standard at the top of men’s tennis.
