Jannik Sinner has announced himself as the new superstar of tennis. The World No.4 won the Australian Open 2024, the first Grand Slam of his career, that too at a very young age and stage of his life. The 22-year-old has credited a lot of his success since 2023 to his coach Darren Cahill. Being known as the Jannik Sinner coach is all set to boost his earnings as well as CV.
Darren Cahill was a former professional player himself. The Australian won two titles in his career but failed to make an impact at the Grand Slam stage. Cahill’s best performance came in the US Open of 1998 when he reached the semifinals. According to multiple media reports, the Darren Cahill net worth figure is estimated to be around USD $1 million.
Jannik Sinner and Darren Cahill have been working together since the summer of 2022. Sinner has admitted in a recent interview that bringing in Cahill into his team was a massive risk, but is glad that it is paying off. Cahill, in a press conference at the Australian Open 2024, joked that Sinner pays him less and takes away his earnings a lot when they play cards. However, it only seems to be a joke since Cahill could easily be earning anywhere above the $200,000 per year mark. A figure which would well go up the more successful Sinner is, in his endorsements off court and prize money winnings on court.
Jannik Sinner coach Darren Cahill hailed by the player for his impact
Prior to winning the Australian Open 2024, Jannik Sinner won the ATP’s Most Improved Player of the Year Award in 2023. During Italy’s famous Davis Cup run, Sinner hailed the influence that Darren Cahill has made to his career. The Italian believes that Cahill has changed his mentality and helped him perform better in big matches.
“I think he was really important for me, for how I was growing as a player, because I feel like he gave me a lot of confidence in one way. Obviously gave something new to the team. Mostly I think the combination with him and with Simone [Vagnozzi] and with all the whole team is really, really nice.”
Darren Cahill and Simeone Vagnozzi have formed a remarkable partnership to guide Sinner to greater heights. The duo have found the right wavelength and have helped Sinner take his game to the next level. Cahill will hope that his positive involvement continues with the Italian looking better and better going into the next season.
