class=\"ciam-article-t365\">\n<p>Italian tennis analyst Guido Monaco has expressed concern about Jannik Sinner\u2019s form and predicted that the world No 2 might make a coaching change if he does not find a solution quickly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> will aim to secure his first title of the 2026 season at the Indian Wells Masters \u2014 an event he will by trying to win for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The four-time Grand Slam champion lost before the final at the two tournaments he has played so far this year, which has seen him lose ground to his rival Carlos Alcaraz at the top of the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old Italian fell to Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set Australian Open semi-final before losing to Jakub Mensik in three sets in the Qatar Open quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Italian website OA Sport, Monaco \u2014 a former player who commentates for Eurosport \u2014 described Sinner\u2019s slump as \u201cperfectly normal\u201d while admitting he is \u201ca little worried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSinner looked tired and worried when he lost the first set to Mensik in Doha,\u201d said Monaco. \u201cThen he lost in the third set, when he usually turns things around and goes on to win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a perfectly normal moment of decline, but it\u2019s also fair to say that, after pushing hard for two years with a thousand problems, a slump can happen. Let\u2019s leave aside those who talk about a crisis.<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Tour News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/has-carlos-alcaraz-distanced-from-jannik-sinner-david-ferrer\"><strong>Has Carlos Alcaraz distanced himself from Jannik Sinner?

I\u2019m a little worried overall and would be surprised to see him immediately in great form in California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Monaco went on to claim that Sinner could add to his coaching team and said Darren Cahill will likely retire from coaching this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJannik had been very vocal in New York about the need to raise the level of his variations,\u201d Monaco recalled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the defeat to Djokovic in Melbourne, perhaps he realised for the first time that he hadn\u2019t improved in his tennis career. I\u2019m convinced he\u2019s working to solve this problem and grow in his process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he can\u2019t do it quickly, I think he might even change his coaching staff. Cahill, it seems clear to me, will retire this year, so Sinner might consider adding someone new to his staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-crisis-former-british-no-1\">Jannik Sinner \u2018crisis\u2019 put into perspective by former British No 1<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Jannik Sinner could make coaching change if he doesn\u2019t solve problem quickly\u2019 Ewan West 01 Mar 2026 2:30 PM Jannik Sinner speaks at a press conference Italian tennis analyst Guido Monaco has expressed concern about Jannik Sinner\u2019s form and predicted that the world No 2 might make a coaching change if he does not find [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1800573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1800573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1800573\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1800573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1800573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1800573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
