Sinner\u2019s former coach Riccardo Piatti has proclaimed that three-time major champion Andy Murray would be a \u201cgood fit\u201d to coach the Italian star.<\/p>\n<p>Piatti played an integral role in Sinner\u2019s development, having started coaching the future world No 1 when he was 13. A 20-year-old Sinner chose to end the partnership in February 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The renowned Italian coach has also worked with Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, Ivan Ljubicic, Milos Raonic, Richard Gasquet and Borna Coric.<\/p>\n<p>Since parting ways with Piatti,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> has been coached by Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill, with the latter joining his team in July 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Cahill had initially planned to retire from coaching at the end of 2025, but the esteemed Australian changed his mind and decided to continue working with the four-time Grand Slam winner this season.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Italian newspaper <em>Corriere della Sera<\/em>, Piatti predicted that Cahill will retire at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, coaching a world number one or two is stressful,\u201d said the 67-year-old.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-speaks-out-privacy-cameras-monte-carlo-masters\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz speaks out about player privacy as he issues \u2018too much\u2019 criticism<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/monte-carlo-masters-carlos-alcaraz-surprise-jannik-sinner-admission\"><strong>Monte Carlo Masters: Carlos Alcaraz makes \u2018surprise\u2019 Jannik Sinner admission<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

I think Darren will retire because he wants to do something else, but I honestly don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if tennis icon Andre Agassi could coach Sinner, Piatti replied: \u201cHmm, I don\u2019t think so. I\u2019d see Andy Murray as a good fit: intelligent, experienced, solid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2021, in Stockholm, he defeated a young Sinner in straight sets. After the match, I went to talk to Andy; I \u200b\u200bwould have signed him right away, but he had decided to keep playing, damn it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murray, who called time on his glittering playing career in August 2024, coached his former rival Djokovic from November 2024 until May 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Piatti also addressed whether Sinner, who is the world No 2, is thinking about overtaking Carlos Alcaraz in the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe knows. He knows where to focus, and when to do it. The defeat in Doha had nothing to do with it: it was a transitional moment,\u201d Piatti assessed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was already focused on his swing in the US, where he had only something to gain. On clay, however, the transitional matches are less predictable: the balls and the court change during the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Jan knows himself: he knows how to pace himself. This year he wants to win a major title on clay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-clay-world-no1-targets\">Jannik Sinner looks to conquer the one challenge that has proved to be beyond him<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Andy Murray would be a good fit to coach Jannik Sinner\u2019, says the Italian\u2019s ex-coach Ewan West 06 Apr 2026 2:45 PM Jannik Sinner with Andy Murray inset Jannik Sinner\u2019s former coach Riccardo Piatti has proclaimed that three-time major champion Andy Murray would be a \u201cgood fit\u201d to coach the Italian star.
