Tennis icon Boris Becker says his decision to turn down Jannik Sinner’s coaching offer in 2022 is because he can’t guarantee his commitment.

In an interview with Corriere della Sera, the German said he recommended two coaches to Sinner, one of whom was Darren Cahill, who he described as “the best”

Recall that after parting ways with his long-time former coach Riccardo Piatti in February 2022, Sinner hired Simone Vagnozzi before adding Cahill to his team in June that year.

Becker was convinced Sinner could become the best and revealed the two areas in which he felt the Italian needed to improve at the time.

“I thought it was a secret… I never talked about it. It’s true,” said Becker

“Two months later, I was waiting for the London ruling (in his bankruptcy case). I told Jannik: I don’t know how it’ll end, I can’t make the commitment.

“But I didn’t want to leave him stranded, so I gave him a couple of names: one was Darren Cahill. For me, the best.”
