"Jannik is among those who can win Grand Slams" - Cahill picks Sinner among US Open favourites

| by Drew Tate

The US Open will have many people trying to win it as the conditions will be in favour of many different players and Darren Cahill thinks Sinner has got a chance.

The Italian player strong tennis last year losing to Alexander Zverev in the 4th round. This year Sinner showed overall improvement with his Wimbledon run particularly impressing many. He gave Novak Djokovic a lot of trouble but ultimately the Serbian was able to win it.

Darren Cahill thinks the Italian is finally maturing with his playstyle giving him chances to win the US Open even this year:

"Jannik is among those who can win the Slams. And I mean now, not in a year's time. Already at the US Open? He moves well on concrete and his play is powerful enough for that kind of surface. Because he is a very good guy, as well as a great player, and I like working with people like that," Cahill said. "I'm not interested in the ranking, but in the person and the potential I see."

Cahill further expanded on his improvement in the past two years:

His service is improving, such as the transition to the net and the game on the fly. He has made great progress in the last two years, first with Riccardo Piatti and then with Simone Vagnozzi. He has to think in perspective, knowing the kind of tennis he wants to play in two years and do everything to get there."
