2025 could be the year the Italian truly dominates across all surfaces.
Jannik Sinner’s coach, Darren Cahill, has dropped a bombshell about the Italian tennis star’s plans
for 2025. After an incredible 2024 season that saw Sinner rise to World No. 1, the young prodigy is
set for a major schedule shake-up, which could include skipping one of the sport’s most iconic clay-
court tournaments.
Sinner, who clinched multiple titles this year including the Australian Open and US Open, is now
aiming to optimize his schedule for 2025. Cahill revealed that the transition between the hard courts
of Miami and the clay season was too abrupt in 2024, leading to performance setbacks, including a
disrupted clay-court season due to illness.
Next year, Sinner’s focus will be on improving his preparation for the clay-court stretch, with a
strategic eye on the Grand Slams. Cahill confirmed that the plan would revolve around making a
better transition into the French Open, one of the only two major titles that have eluded Sinner so
far. This could mean skipping the Monte Carlo Masters, a non-mandatory event, to save energy for
the bigger goals ahead.
As the tennis world watches, this new approach signals that Sinner is no longer just aiming for
regular titles—he’s preparing for Grand Slam domination.
