Jannik Sinner’s Cheeky Jab at Coach Darren Cahill’s Eating Habits Amid French Open Run
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, fresh off a dominant 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Andrey Rublev in the 2025 French Open round of 16, shared a humorous gripe about his coach Darren Cahill during a TNT Sports interview. When asked if the “perfect” Cahill had any annoying habits, Sinner quipped, “He’s a very, very good man. But sometimes, what I don’t like is we all eat very healthy and he just gets French fries or desserts and we’re all just watching him like ‘I wish I would be in your position.’ He has improved though. Now he puts in some vegetables.” The lighthearted comment, reported by motorcyclesports.net and welovetennis.fr, amused fans, highlighting the contrast between Sinner’s disciplined diet and Cahill’s indulgence in junk food. Sinner, who has won three Grand Slams under Cahill’s guidance since 2022, including the 2025 Australian Open, faces Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals, a rematch of their 2024 French Open semi-final.
In parallel, the sports world is abuzz with other stories. Fallon Sherrock announced a heartbreaking 2026 darts hiatus due to her kidney condition, aiming to “make a bang” at the 2025 Grand Slam and World Championship, per Online Darts. Luke Littler, meanwhile, is in Copenhagen for the 2025 Nordic Darts Masters, facing Viktor Tingstrom, as confirmed by the PDC. These narratives, alongside Sinner’s playful jab, underscore the human side of elite athletes navigating intense schedules and personal challenges.
