Why did Jannik Sinner going skiing ahead of 2024 season? Coach Darren Cahill has all the answers
ATPMonday, 01 January 2024 at 12:30
Darren Cahill has revealed that taking Italy’s young tennis
star Jannik Sinner skiing before the start of the 2024 season was a method
to keep his mind and body fresh ahead of the first Grand Slam of the year.
The 22-year-old is often regarded as one of the most
highly-rated young players currently playing in the circuit alongside Spain’s
Carlos Alcaraz and America’s Ben Shelton. Cahill, who is currently coaching
Sinner, was recently quoted in a report where he stated that the decision to go skiing before the start of a new season was a well-calculated one.
“The Davis Cup made the difference: 5 more matches in
Malaga, the competitive season ended on 26 November,” he said. “With joy, but
further than we thought. We considered not stressing Jannik Sinner with a
tournament before Melbourne to protect his mind and body.
“It is the strategy that, in the five years that I coached
him, I used with Agassi. This way he has more margin for recovery, and skiing
these days in South Tyrol, in moderation, is an integral part of the boy's
well-being. Starting fresh will be crucial.”
Sinner had a more than decent time on the court in 2023,
especially in the second half as he helped Italy in winning their first Davis
Cup title in more than four decades.

- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
- LOL. Billie Jean King hates being a woman.
