by helping the Italian.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner delivered a stellar performance to earn a convincing 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 against Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-finals earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian holds a 7-5 head-to-head record against Djokovic having won six of the pair\u2019s last seven encounters after the Serbian won four of their first five matches.<\/p>\n<p>The duo\u2019s second meeting came in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, with Djokovic prevailing 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.<\/p>\n<p>Darren Cahill, who joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a>\u2018s coaching team shortly before Wimbledon in 2022,\u00a0revealed on Andy Roddick\u2019s Served podcast last year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-coach-darren-cahill-novak-djokovic-advice\">that Djokovic candidly broke down the Italian\u2019s game after that quarter-final match<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Novak, and he\u2019s always great with this, he\u2019s always been incredible when you tap him on the shoulder,\u201d said Cahill. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018Hey listen, I\u2019ve just started with Jannik, don\u2019t tell me anything you don\u2019t want to tell me, but can I ask what you were feeling out there?\u2019 And he was incredible.<\/p>\n<h2>More ATP Tour

Good luck with working with him. Hits the ball great, but there\u2019s no variation. So you know, there\u2019s no shape on his shot. There\u2019s no height over the net. Doesn\u2019t come to the net. He\u2019s not trying to bring me in, I know that he returns well, but he\u2019s not attacking my serve on the return of serve.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, he went through his whole game and broke it down. It wasn\u2019t like it was revelations to what we didn\u2019t know about Jannik and what we were trying to change in his game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when you take that conversation and sit down with a young man like Jannik Sinner and say, \u2018Hey, listen, I just spoke to Novak and this is what he thinks\u2019, that leaves a big impression on a young player. So for Jannik, it\u2019s: \u2018Right, give it to me. Let\u2019s start doing these changes\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> appeared at the Fanatics Fest in New York, and in an interview during the event, he referenced his conversation with Sinner\u2019s coach at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gave him all the spill of everything I noticed on the court: his weaknesses, his strengths, things he has to work on, and then, the next three years, he beats me at Wimbledon every freaking year! So, maybe I made a mistake, I don\u2019t know (smiling),\u201d said the 24-time Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/canadian-open-withdrawal-list-carlos-alcaraz-emma-raducanu-joined-karolina-muchova\">Canadian Open withdrawal list: 6 stars out as Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu joined by Wimbledon finalist<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic shares advice he gave Jannik Sinner as he makes \u2018mistake\u2019 comment Ewan West 20 Jul 2026 11:10 AM Novak Djokovic with Jannik Sinner inset Novak Djokovic has recalled sharing advice with Jannik Sinner after a match and amusingly admitted he may have \u201cmade a mistake\u201d by helping the Italian.
