Jannik Sinner’s coach responds to Novak Djokovic comparisons after Miami Open win

Miami Open champion Jannik Sinner is up to No. 2 in the rankings after overtaking Carlos Alcaraz and now only Novak Djokovic separates the Italian from top spot

Jannik Sinner’s coach, Darren Cahill, has downplayed the idea that any player will ever dominate tennis like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer have during their careers. After winning the Miami Open, Sinner has won all but one tournament he has played in this year.

That tournament was Indian Wells, when Carlos Alcaraz came from a set down to prevail. Before that, the Italian backed up his Australian Open victory with further success in the Rotterdam Open.

The win in Miami also moves Sinner above Alcaraz to No. 2 in the ATP rankings and behind only Djokovic. With a 22-1 match record in 2024, the comparisons are coming to the past and present greats of the game.

Cahill coached Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt over the years before working with Andy Murray and Fernando Verdasco while part of the Adidas Player Development Program. And the Australian believes that no one will repeat the feats of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal.
