Furthermore, Cahill believes that for Sinner to defeat the top players, his coaching team would need to analyze his performance against them from previous matches and pinpoint areas that need improvement.

"Now we need to watch his matches against the best tennis players around and understand what's keeping him from beating them," he added. "Then work on it. It definitely takes time, a couple of years and many match situations."
