WIMBLEDON, England — Jannik Sinner<\/a>‘s Wimbledon title might mean he’ll be able to keep Darren Cahill around as one of his coaches beyond this season — by winning the friendly wager they made before Sunday’s final at the All England Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January, while Sinner was on his way to winning the Australian Open, it came out that Cahill would be leaving his role as one of the No. 1-ranked player’s two coaches at the end of the 2025.<\/p>\n

After Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 for the championship at Wimbledon on Sunday, Cahill was asked whether he would reconsider the decision to depart the team.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to answer this,” Cahill, who is also an ESPN analyst, responded. “You know what? You just need to ask Jannik that.”<\/p>\n

So an Italian reporter followed those instructions and did put the topic to Sinner, who smiled and paused.<\/p>\n

“It depends,” Sinner began, “Whether I want to tell the truth or not.”<\/p>\n

And then he proceeded to explain the whole situation in Italian, revealing that maybe Cahill’s exit is not set in stone, after all.<\/p>\n

That’s because the two had a conversation Saturday night.<\/p>\n

“We had a bet before the final. He said: ‘If you win tomorrow, you can decide whether or not I stay,'” Sinner recounted. “Now the choice is mine. I’ve always looked for a person who is honest, a person who gives me a lot, not necessarily only on the tennis court, but [about] how to live.”<\/p>\n

Sinner went on to say that he would love to have Cahill remain. Sinner also did acknowledge that if Cahill did continue to work alongside co-coach Simone Vagnozzi<\/a>, Cahill probably would not travel on tour as much as he does currently.<\/p>\n

“The season is long. There are a lot of tournaments. You never know,” Sinner said. “But let’s just say I won the bet, and so we’ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n
