“He brought me so many things,” he said. “One year is a long time. I don't want to talk too much about his retirement. I feel very lucky and happy to be his last player on the tour. He has been an amazing coach, an amazing person, not only to me but to all the other players he has worked with.
“For me it's just a great honor. I hope we can have a good season. But let's see. Let's see what comes in the future. He has a beautiful family, many good things in store for him after his tennis career, no? Let's see. But the year is long.”
Cahill, regarded as one of the greatest coaches of all time, coached Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi, Simona Halep and Sinner to Grand Slam glory. Aussie learned the art from his father John, a famous Aussie football coach.
The 59-year-old Cahill, a former World No.22, guided Sinner to the World No.1 ranking and two major titles in 2024. He is the coach of Sinner's team, with Italian Simone Vagnozzi.
