Even if Sinner or Alcaraz wins 30 Grand Slams, he won't be the GOAT 'cause they're playing in this joke of an era bereft of competition. 30 Grand Slams might be enough to make them equal to Murray but not above that.

 

Oh Sinner can be statistical GOAT for sure (Judging by the tour and how lame it is. Djokovic has proved this all year how piss poor of a tour it is ). But he has to quit serving like a woman and hitting every first serve into the net. The winning lottery ticket is all there. It's up to him to cash it in. It's all right there to nab at the moment. No one can do it for him though. He has to man up himself and make it happen. The way his balls shrivel up against Alcaraz though its not likely

The ATP overall is so awful right now that a Rogie/Rafa "senior's" tour sounds a lot more exciting to watch now!!

 

Cahill is already not his coach. It was announced the US Open was their last tournament together.

 

Wow interesting. I must have missed that.

In other news (@Muzzafan you know about this?), Sinner has hired another physio (I think the equivalent role that Naldi had) very recently. An Argentinian named Alejandro Resnicoff. Apparently he has worked with Sinner for a limited stint in Wimbledon 2023.

Jannik Sinner's latest team member named as Italian makes statement hire

Jannik Sinner is reportedly set to start work with Alejandro Resnicoff, one of the most experienced physiotherapists on the ATP Tour.

to be the undisputed GOAT he need at least to make as big difference to nole that nole did to fed, rafa and sampras combinate!

so at least:
10 YE#1 (8, sampras 6)
546 weeks at #1 (428, fed 310)
26 slams (24, rafa 22)
4 CGS (3, rafa 2)
8 WTF (7, fed 6)
gold + silver (or 2 golds to 2 times complete tennis; G+B, rafa G)
44 masters (40, rafa 36)
4 CGM (2, no one else has even 1)
18500 ATP points (16950=17110 in new system, fed 15485)
2 sinner-slams/CYGS (nole-slam, no rafa, fed or sampras slam)
W% record and records in top5 and top10 wins and positive h2h vs all main rivals!

 

Noooo I say keep Killer
From what I see what held him back was injury related

 

If it weren't for Sinner's incipient and escalating scoliosis, he might have been one of the greatest, but now it looks like he's going to stop at the mediocre number of 4 when it comes to GS.

 

10 YE#1
546 weeks at #1
26 slams
4 CGS
8 WTF
2 gold
44 masters
4 CGM
18500 ATP points
2 sinner-slams
W%, top5, top10 wins records and positive h2h vs main rivals

 

9 YE#1
429 weeks at #1
25 slams
3 CGS
8 WTF
1 gold
41 masters
3 CGM
17000 ATP points
2 sinner-slams
W%, top5, top10 wins records and positive h2h vs main rivals

This would be enough

 

I agree about moving on from Cahill. I find him one of the most overrated coaches, Sinner's other coach does most of the job while Darren is just there for some "Come on, forza!" 💀 And still the media will always praise only Cahill🙄

 

I find Cahill to not really be that much of an actual technical or strategic coach. And while even at the elite level, coaching will always be high level and not necessarily about "mechanics" all the time, I'm not sure if at this junction it is the best use of Sinner's resources (more so time than money) to get any "mental pep" from Cahill.

Basically I think Sinner has extracted as much as he can from Darren. I think Cahill's father-figure esque presence might have been quite useful especially in the fall of 2023 when Sinner was ascending, now there are certain holes in his arsenal and game, in the context of being a legitimate ATG-for-the-history books contender (in terms of the tour he currently is basically infallible bar Alcaraz) that would need real out-of-the-box coaching AND also technical (serve and net play).
