Novak Djokovic admits he \u2018wanted to cry\u2019 as he is asked a question that inspires powerful response<\/a><\/p>\nWhat did Darren Cahill say after Novak Djokovic\u2019s comments about Jannik Sinner?<\/p>\n
After Djokovic\u2019s interview with Piers Morgan was released on Tuesday, Cahill shared the following quote from author Bill Bullard on his Instagram story on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Cahill wrote: \u201cOpinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another\u2019s world\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Given the timing, many social media users have interpreted Cahill\u2019s post as being a dig at Djokovic over what the tennis great said about the Italian\u2019s doping case.<\/p>\n
It is important to note, though, that Cahill\u00a0has not clarified what the quote is a reference to.<\/p>\n
It is also possible it could have been a reaction to the criticism Sinner has faced in Italy for his decision not to play at the 2025 Davis Cup Finals.<\/p>\n
What has Darren Cahill said about Novak Djokovic in the past?<\/p>\n
In June, Cahill shared a fascinating anecdote about a conversation he had with Djokovic after the Serb beat Sinner in the 2022 Wimbledon quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
The Australian, who had started coaching Sinner shortly before the tournament, revealed Djokovic candidly analysed Sinner\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw Novak, and he\u2019s always great with this, he\u2019s always been incredible when you tap him on the shoulder. And I said, \u2018Hey listen, I\u2019ve just started with Jannik, don\u2019t tell me anything you don\u2019t want to tell me, but can I ask what you were feeling out there?\u2019 And he was incredible,\u201d Cahill recalled.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe basically said, \u2018Hey listen. Good luck with working with him. Hits the ball great, but there\u2019s no variation. So you know, there\u2019s no shape on his shot. There\u2019s no height over the net. Doesn\u2019t come to the net. He\u2019s not trying to bring me in, I know that he returns well, but he\u2019s not attacking my serve on the return of serve.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he went through his whole game and broke it down. It wasn\u2019t like it was revelations to what we didn\u2019t know about Jannik and what we were trying to change in his game.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when you take that conversation and sit down with a young man like Jannik Sinner and say, \u2018Hey, listen, I just spoke to Novak and this is what he thinks\u2019, that leaves a big impression on a young player. So for Jannik, it\u2019s: \u2018Right, give it to me. Let\u2019s start doing these changes\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
