Jannik Sinner surprised many when he parted ways with two important team members on the eve of Wimbledon, and the reason for his decision has seemingly been revealed.<\/p>\n
The Italian star split with both fitness trainer Marco Panichi and his physiotherapist Ulises Badio days before the start of Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sinner<\/a> brushed off concerns that the move could affect his Wimbledon chances, though, as he went on to secure his maiden title at the London major and fourth Grand Slam overall.<\/p>\n Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera has reported that Sinner took the decision to fire the two team members due to Panichi\u00a0sharing details in interviews.<\/p>\n One incident after Sinner\u2019s defeat to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the epic five-set 2025 French Open final particularly bothered the world No 1.<\/p>\n Panichi\u00a0disclosed to the media that Sinner cried for 15 minutes in the locker room after the match and also that the Italian was frustrated by the crowd\u2019s heavy support for Alcaraz.<\/p>\n This, apparently, did not go down well with Sinner, while Badio<\/a> \u2014 who joined the team at the same time as Panichi in September 2024 \u2014 was reportedly axed as \u201ccollateral damage.\u201d<\/p>\n Panichi and Badio\u00a0spent long spells working as a duo in Novak Djokovic\u2019s team before their time with Sinner.<\/p>\n Holger Rune hires Novak Djokovic & Jannik Sinner\u2019s ex-team member after Andre Agassi move<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Jannik Sinner claimed to have \u2018wanted\u2019 controversial fitness trainer back despite doping row<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In his pre-Wimbledon press conference, Sinner insisted there had been no issues between him and Panichi or Badio as he addressed the split.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, nothing major happened,\u201d the 23-year-old explained. \u201cNothing big happened. I parted ways not long ago, but it\u2019s not affecting me. I feel ready to compete. I feel free. I feel me and my team, we are ready to do the best we can.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m here to play good tennis. I think that\u2019s my main goal, the main reason why I\u2019m here. We\u2019ve reached incredible results in the past with them, so obviously huge thanks to them. We made some great job, but I decided to do something different.\u201d<\/p>\n Pressed on the reason for his decision, Sinner did not give much away: \u201cAs I said, there\u2019s not one specific thing. Nothing crazy happened. That\u2019s for sure not.<\/p>\n \u201cWe made some great work. For me the final in Roland Garros was an amazing achievement. That\u2019s it. Look, in this sport things can happen. There is nothing incredible, no, because sometimes a player feels something different, and that\u2019s my case.<\/p>\n It was a move that former No 1 Andy Roddick struggled to explain before Wimbledon.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a really weird thing to do, yeah. On the eve of Wimbledon, you wouldn\u2019t\u2026 had to be something,\u201d the American said on his Served podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know anything, but my guess would be that it has to be something off court, whether it\u2019s financial, whether it\u2019s an argument. This doesn\u2019t feel like what you would do when you\u2019re trying to win your first Wimbledon.<\/p>\n \u201cThis also sounds like it could be something that we will never know the answer to, at least publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n Panichi has since been hired by Holger Rune and will join the Dane at the Cincinnati Masters.<\/p>\n READ NEXT:\u00a0Surprising Jannik Sinner report labelled \u2018absolutely fake news\u2019 by legendary coach<\/a> The post The reason for Jannik Sinner\u2019s shock split with team members before Wimbledon has been revealed<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jannik Sinner surprised many when he parted ways with two important team members on the eve of Wimbledon, and the reason for his decision has seemingly been revealed.
