Shanghai, Vienna or directly at the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh at the end of October. The countdown for Jannik Sinner’s return to the field has begun. The fans hope that the Italian can compete as soon as possible, also with the aim of not losing the world number 1 threatened by Alexander Zverev. At the moment, however, beyond the more or less confirmed rumors of an improvement in the knee, no certain dates have emerged. The South Tyrolean champion is still in Monte Carlo where, between recovery sessions and specific training sessions, he has finally found the time and the way to dedicate time to himself.
Motorcycle license on the fifth attempt
Sinner finally managed to get his motorcycle license. In recent times, the number 1 in world tennis had made no secret of the difficulties he encountered in passing the exam, for which he had failed four times, also having to endure ironic comments from Darren Cahill. On the fifth try, he made it. «Thank you so much for your trust and your kindness – the Munich driving school ‘Bonne Conduite’ wrote on Instagram – Congratulations on having passed the exam» wrote the driving school.
Cahill’s future
This time, in short, the taunts of his Australian coach were avoided. However, all attention is focused on Cahill’s future. Already last year the teacher who brought him to the top of world tennis had announced his retirement but the passion and attachment on the part of his favorite student had made him give up. And Sinner had rewarded him, winning at Wimbledon. This year, however, the farewell seems more concrete.
Possible replacements: Ferrero, Norman and the dream Djokovic
Without prejudice to the firm role of Simone Vagnozzi in Jannik’s staff, names of possible replacements for Cahill have been circulating for weeks. Among these is Juan Carlos Ferrero. The former head coach of Carlos Alcaraz, from whom he separated amid controversy, last December said he would take all of 2026 as a “sabbatical” and then return in 2027. Many now, however, see him closer to closing with the new Spanish rising star: Rafael Jodar.
Magnus Norman on the rise. The former world number 2 has ended her relationship with Stan Wawrinka, who is leaving tennis at the age of 41. It’s on the market. There had already been contacts with Sinner in the past.
The unconfessed dream of many has the name of Novak Djokovic: the Serbian and the Italian have many characteristics in common, starting from the obsessive attention to detail and the iron discipline in work. At the moment, the “goat” doesn’t seem to want to hang up his racket, even if his physique seems to push him to reflect. In Beijing, Djoko risked going out in the first round against Yunchaokete Bu, a 24-year-old home athlete and number 104 in the world: he won only in the third set, after losing the first 6-4 and winning the second in a tie-break. The Italians also did badly: again in China Jasmine Paolini was eliminated by the Ukrainian Daria Snigur; while in Tokyo Luciano Darderi lost to the Frenchman Kyrian Jacquet.
