Former world No. 2 Magnus Norman will join Sinner's team at the beginning of December, working alongside Simone Vagnozzi. Sinner confirmed on Friday that Norman will replace Cahill, who helped shape the Italian into the world's top tennis player. In a statement, world number two Sinner said that he would conclude his partnership with Cahill, which began in June 2022, "at the end of the 2026 season". Working with Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi, Sinner has become the pre-eminent figure in men's tennis alongside Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner is already the most successful Italian tennis player of all time at the age of 25, a five-time Grand Slam winner who last year became the first man from his country to win Wimbledon. ## Achievements under Cahill Working with Cahill and Vagnozzi, Sinner won five Grand Slam titles and two ATP Finals, and completed the Career Golden Masters by winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 events. Sinner reached world No. 1 for the first time in June 2024. He is now world number two after losing the top spot to Alexander Zverev. Sinner has been injured since winning Wimbledon for the second straight year in July, and lost his spot at the top of the men's world rankings to Alexander Zverev. ## Quotes "Darren has been an incredibly important part of my journey," Sinner said. "Together with Simone and the whole team, we have achieved things I dreamed of growing up. Winning five Grand Slam titles and reaching world No. " "I want to thank Darren for his belief in me, his honesty and his dedication," he added. "He has helped me grow both as a player and as a person, and his guidance will stay with me throughout my career. " "Working with Jannik has been a special honor and privilege," Cahill said. "He's an amazing young man and a humble dedicated champion that we are all incredibly proud of. " "I want to thank Jannik, the entire team, and all the fans for welcoming this Aussie into the wonderful Italian family," he added. " ## Magnus Norman's background Norman, a Swede, reached a career-high No. 2 in 2000, the year he lost the Roland-Garros final to Gustavo Kuerten. As a coach, he worked with Stan Wawrinka from 2013 to 2017, the period in which the Swiss won his three Grand Slam titles, at the 2014 Australian Open, the 2015 Roland-Garros and the 2016 US Open. They worked together again from 2018 to 2020, then reunited in late 2022. The announcement confirms reports that emerged a week ago in The Times, which named Norman as Cahill's successor. ## What happens next Sinner's season is already over: he was ruled out by a knee injury, and has since resumed training in Monte Carlo. He is set to return to action in the "Six Kings Slam" tournament in Saudi Arabia in December. ### Key figures from Sinner's partnership with Cahill | Metric | Detail | | --- | --- | | Partnership start | June 2022 | | Partnership end | End of 2026 season | | Grand Slam titles | Five | | ATP Finals titles | Two | | Career Golden Masters | All nine ATP Masters 1000 events | | World No. 1 first reached | June 2024 | | Norman joins team | Beginning of December | ### Related on Apex Sports News - [In pictures: Novak Djokovic: career record and 2026 season form](https://apexsportsnews.in/news/novak-djokovic-career-record-and-2026-season-form) ### Sources - [tennismajors.com](https://www.tennismajors.com/atp/sinner-and-cahill-to-end-coaching-partnership-after-2026-norman-joins-the-team-865986.html) - [english.aawsat.com](https://english.aawsat.com/sports/5338226-sinner-replace-coach-cahill-magnus-norman-year%E2%80%99s-end) - [Photo: Jay Clark, CC BY 2.0 (Wikimedia Commons)](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Darren_Cahill_at_the_2009_Indianapolis_Tennis_Championships_01_(crop).jpg) --- Source: Apex Sports News, https://apexsportsnews.in/news/jannik-sinner-to-end-darren-cahill-coaching-partnership-after-2026-season.
