Boris Becker Says He Nearly Coached Jannik Sinner in 2022 Before Legal Case Halted Talks

He pointed Sinner to Darren Cahill, whose guidance preceded four majors and a rise to No. 1.

Overview

  • Becker confirmed in a Corriere della Sera interview that he held coaching talks with Sinner in early 2022.
  • He told Sinner he could not commit because he was awaiting a London verdict in an insolvency case and later served prison time.
  • Becker recommended several candidates, including Australian coach Darren Cahill, who joined Sinner’s team that summer.
  • Under Cahill, Sinner has since won four Grand Slams and reached the top of the ATP rankings.
  • Becker said he recognized Sinner’s exceptional mindset early, and he now lives in Milan, works in media, expects a child, and doubts a coaching return.
