Coach Darren Cahill shook the world of tennis with a strong and decided declaration in defense of Jannik Sinner, after the accusations launched by Adrian Mannarino who claimed that the victory of the Italian tennis player was due only to the “luck”, thanks to the rain that interrupted the match during their meeting at the Cincinnati Open.

After the triumph of Sinner, Mannarino insinuated that the result of the game had been strongly influenced by adverse weather conditions, accusing the rain of disturbing his rhythm and benefited his opponent. “The rain interrupted the game and broke my pace, giving a fortune to Sinner,” said Mannarino, arousing a series of criticisms and discussions heated between the fans and experts.
In response to the accusations, Darren Cahill, who trains Sinner, reacted promptly with a declaration of great strength. With only five words, the coach defended his student, declaring: “It is not luck, he is talent.” These words immediately attracted the support of the fans, who saw in them a defense not only for Sinner, but also for the principle of respect in professional tennis.

“Jannik won with his commitment, his dedication and his incredible talent. It is easy to blame luck when you can’t do better, but the truth is that Sinner worked hard to be where it is today. No tennis phenomenon is the result of luck,” Cahill said.
Cahill’s reaction has not gone unnoticed, generating a strong reaction on social media. Many fans and professionals have shown their support to Sinner, appreciating the coach’s net position. However, Mannarino’s answer was not long in coming. “There is no need to defend anyone with strong statements. The rain was only a factor that changed the course of the game,” the French tennis player reiterated.
The debate on the role of fortune in professional tennis continues to inflame the discussion, but the words of Darren Cahill have highlighted an important point: success in tennis is never only a matter of circumstances, but it depends largely on the preparation, determination and talent of the athlete. Jannik Sinner has once again shown that, even in the most difficult situations, his spirit of fighter is what makes him a true champion.
With his prompt and decisive response, Cahill further strengthened his link with the young tennis player, defending his pupil in a crucial moment of his career. Now, with the support of his team and his fans, Sinner can focus on his goals, knowing that every victory is the result of his hard work and his passion for the game.
