Jannik Sinner has dominated the ATP Tour over the past 12 months, winning his first three Grand Slam titles.
Since the beginning of 2024, Sinner has lost just six matches on the ATP Tour, bringing home three Grand Slams, three Masters 1000s, the ATP Finals, and the Davis Cup during that period.
Sinner beat Alexander Zverev last month to win his third Major at the Australian Open, defending a Grand Slam title for the first time in his career.
The Italian has spent the last 35 weeks as world number one and currently holds a 3,695-point lead over number two-ranked Zverev.
Although it may look as though nothing can stop the 23-year-old, a recent announcement threatened to disrupt his dominance.
Sinner’s coach Darren Cahill will depart his team at the end of 2025, a big loss for the star who has worked with the Australian for the past three years.
Following the news, one former ATP Tour star has revealed whether he would consider coaching Sinner in the future.
Andreas Seppi would happily coach Jannik Sinner ‘in a few years’ but admits now isn’t the right time
During an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, former world number 18, Andreas Seppi was asked whether he sees ‘himself’ in Sinner.
“Rather than seeing myself in him, in recent years it seemed to me that there was a handover between the two of us,” he said.
“I was at the sunset and towards the end, he at the beginning.”
Seppi was then asked if he would consider joining Sinner’s coaching team.
The three-time ATP Tour champion then gave his thoughts on Andy Murray’s recent comments about coaching, suggesting that it is harder than playing.
“He’s right, in the end, you’re the one who makes the decisions, you know how you feel,” he said.
“Anything can come at you from outside, but it’s the player who decides, and on the pitch, in any case, you’re alone and it’s never easy.”
A former Davis Cup semi-finalist with Italy, Seppi was also asked for his thoughts on the nation’s current crop of talent.
“[Lorenzo] Musetti for sure, he has an incredible talent and it’s beautiful to watch,” he said.
“They’re all doing well, I’m thinking of [Flavio] Cobolli and certainly [Matteo] Berrettini, who is now returning to his level.
