Djokovic pointed out Sinner s weaknesses three years ago

Sinner won Djokovic six in 10 confrontations, including five recent matches. However, when Djokovic was full a few years ago, Sinner lost three consecutive matches, including the 2-3 defeat in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2022.

It was the Sinner match winning the first two sets 7-5, 6-2 but lost three sets after 3-6, 2-6, 2-6. After the battle, coach Cahill met Nole and asked the Serbia player to evaluate his juniors. Australia said he had just worked with Sinner and wanted to find a solution to develop his career for this player. He emphasized that no one was better than Djokovic at that time, especially in reading the match, adjusting tactics and putting pressure on the opponent. "According to Djokovic, Sinner's shot has no clear shape, does not go to the net, does not dare to return the ball. I brought those words to Sinner and it greatly affects him. Almost immediately Sinner wants to embark on improving the weakness that Djokovic pointed out ".

Cahill said Djokovic praised Sinner to return the ball and hit the end of the yard well, but not assertive enough. From that time, Italian player advanced dizzy, repeatedly defeated Djokovic himself in big prizes and won the world's number one position. This position only disappeared after the last US final, when Sinner lost to Alcaraz and ended for 65 consecutive weeks to hold the top of the ATP. "I played easily, and Alcaraz evolved," he admitted. "Now it's my turn, forced to improve if you want to overcome him". However, the Italian player still creates bright spots against rivals, such as the overwhelming performance in the Roland Garros final, or convincing victory in the Wimbledon Final..

"sinner calm after failure, there is no panic at all because he knows it needs to face outstanding people like Alcaraz to have the opportunity to see weaknesses to improve ," Cahill added. However, the victory in Wimbledon helped Italian player have the right to decide this, under the agreement of the two teachers. It is not clear whether the two parties continue to cooperate or not.
