Few people know better how the last 12 months have been for Jannik Sinner than his coach, Simone Vagnozzi, who has been accompanying the Italian during these years. The world number one's coach opens up in a press conference to share how these past months have been with numerous triumphs, but also some less joyful episodes such as the doping case he was accused of, leading to changes in the team.

New additions to the team

"It's not a common situation, it doesn't happen too often, but that's tennis for you. We learn to adapt to this new chapter. Two guys with a lot of experience are coming in, having been part of Novak's team. The method is different. Gradually, we find a way and we are functioning well as a team. Their work will be more crucial during the preseason. They are very professional, and I am happy to have them on the team," Vagnozzi explained in the press conference.

A season full of successes

"It has been an incredible year. We started by winning in Australia and finished with a title here. It has been a very long and stressful season, but we are happy with what we have achieved. Jannik's first two Grand Slams, his first win here in Turin at the ATP Finals. If someone had told us before the year started, we would have signed up for it. We are super happy with it."

Years of work

"My job as a coach is also to understand if the player is capable of changing something. He is the kind of person that if you tell him to change something, he does it as quickly as possible. With him, it's very simple. If he trusts you, he will give his all to make it happen. We changed many things when we started. We are very happy with all the progress we have made since day one together."

Their involvement and Darren's during the matches

"We are usually very quiet. Jannik is not the type of player who wants many words during his matches. We try to give him very, very little help during the games. We see how the match starts, if it's a good day or a bad day. This year we had many good days throughout the season. In the final, we were very calm because we had been watching him all week. He was hitting really well. We had the confidence he would play a good match."
