The 2025 Wimbledon final saw an unprecedented climate of tension, with a sensational accusation from Jannik Sinner’s coach, Darren Cahill. The Australian coach raised a storm, declaring that the tournament’s organization had made intentional decisions to psychologically influence his client, Jannik Sinner, and favor the winner Carlos Alcaraz. According to Cahill, the choice to start the famous anthem “We Are the Champions” after the set won by Alcaraz was a psychologically destabilizing move for Sinner, specifically designed to affect his concentration and morale.

In a heated interview, Cahill said the decision to play the Queen song, an anthem that historically symbolizes victory, immediately after Alcaraz’s set win, was not a coincidence. The coach spoke openly of psychological manipulation by those managing the event, accusing the organization of selling its commitment to outside interests, allowing a narrative in favor of the Spaniard to prevail. “It is not a coincidence that the song was played at that moment, right after a set won by Carlos. There is no doubt that it was a move designed to destabilize Sinner’s mind,” Cahill said.

According to Cahill, the incident was not only a questionable tactical move, but also a psychological attack on Sinner, who had already been under a lot of pressure during the final. The young Italian talent, despite his incredible fighting spirit, had to deal with a series of mental obstacles that, according to Cahill, were fueled by a series of external factors, including events such as the decision to play “We Are the Champions” at the wrong time. “Sinner has been damaged psychologically,” the coach fumed, adding that this had an impact on his client’s game.

Cahill then linked the issue to the recent extension of Roland Garros, suggesting that the extension was made precisely to favor Alcaraz’s victory. “Roland Garros was extended only to allow the Spaniard to win more easily. This manipulation of the dynamics of the tournament has become a problem that undermines the integrity of our sport,” the coach said.

Finally, Cahill asked for an official explanation from the Wimbledon organization. He asked for light to be shed on these alleged psychological and political maneuvers that, in his opinion, are undermining the sport of tennis. “We ask for transparency. Tennis must remain a game of skill, without outside influences that can alter the final result,” Cahill concluded, concluding that his client, Sinner, deserves fair and impartial treatment.

The story has caused a chain reaction in the tennis world, with many fans and professionals siding with Cahill, while others argue that his claims are exaggerated. What is certain is that the Wimbledon 2025 final will go down in history, not only for the great sporting spectacle, but also for the controversy that has engulfed the tournament.
