Coach Darren Cahill broke the silence after the defeat of Jannik Sinner in the Italian Open final, offering a clear explanation that has generated empathy among fans. Cahill revealed that Sinner dragged a slight injury to his leg before the game, which made his performance very difficult, especially on a surface as demanding as the beaten earth.

“Jannik had a small leg injury before the game, and playing in whipped land, where mobility is fundamental and falls are frequent, becomes even more complicated with that type of physical problem,” Cahill explained.

The coach asked for understanding for the young Italian tennis player: “We want fans to understand that he did everything possible despite the circumstances. It was a great effort and we hope it will be valued.”

In addition, Cahill recognized Carlos Alcaraz’s merit in victory: “Carlos played very well, he cannot deny his talent and his dominance over this surface. He was a formidable rival and Sinner had to face a player at a high level.”

Cahill’s statements have calmed the criticism and reinforced respect for Sinner, who although he could not take the title, demonstrated professionalism and struggle until the end.

With this explanation, fans value the effort of both players further, who offered a high -level match and demonstrated the quality that characterizes world tennis.
