Overview

  • He confirmed that longtime trainer Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio left his team following his loss at the Halle Open just days before the grass-court Grand Slam.
  • Panichi and Badio had joined Sinner’s camp in September 2024, guiding him to an Australian Open title and a French Open final appearance.
  • Sinner insisted that “nothing big happened” behind the split, framing it as a mutual decision aimed at maintaining his competitive edge.
  • With no replacements announced, Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill remain his only support figures as he prepares for Centre Court.
  • The reshuffle echoes earlier backroom changes after a three-month clostebol suspension last year, highlighting Sinner’s proactive control over his support structure.
