Simone Vagnozzi has worked wonders with Jannik Sinner since becoming his coach in 2022.
Alongside Darren Cahill, the pair have overseen all four of Sinner’s Grand Slam title victories, as well as his world number one placing.
Cahill’s partnership with Sinner could be coming to an end, but Vagnozzi looks like he will stay for a very long time.
As well as continuing his partnership with Sinner, Vagnozzi has signed up for a tennis tournament in Australia.
Simone Vagnozzi plays the Australian Open’s 1 Point Slam
Vagnozzi has been spotted playing the Australian Open’s 1 Point Slam during the opening day of the Grand Slam.
The qualifiers for the tournament, which pits tennis players from past and future in a one-point shoot-out, have begun.
Who do you think will retire with more Grand Slam titles?
Vagnozzi defeated former Australian tennis pro Luke Saville, who is the father of WTA star Daria Saville, in the opening round.
The tournament is also open to amateurs, with several stars from local Australian tennis clubs competing in the tournament.
The event will take place for the very first time at the Australian Open, with several high-profile players already confirmed to compete.
Who has signed up for the Australian Open’s 1 Point Slam?
The tournament’s $1 million prize money has attracted several of the biggest players on both the ATP and WTA Tour.
Naomi Osaka, Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Jasmine Paolini were the first high-profile names to sign up to the event.
Who will win the 2026 men’s Australian Open?
Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff joined the 1 Point Slam after that, alongside local heroes Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The 1 Point Slam will begin on the 14 January at the Australian Open’s Rod Laver Arena.
