Sinner's knee pain continues

Jannik Sinner, the world number one tennis player, is still dealing with recurring knee pain that returns when his training intensity increases, according to former American coach Brad Gilbert, who shared these details in the podcast The Big T.

Sinner's treatment and doctors

Sinner has been away from the sport since his Wimbledon final and is currently undergoing non-surgical treatment. Multiple doctors are involved in his case, with up to three different specialists working on his condition.

Concerns about surgery

Gilbert expressed concern that if the pain continues when Sinner needs to increase his training intensity for the upcoming season, surgical intervention might become necessary. He noted that while surgery is generally avoided, modern knee operations are less invasive than they were 30 years ago.

Cahill's role in the situation

Gilbert also raised questions about the role of Sinner's coach, Darren Cahill, who learned late about Sinner's withdrawal from the Cincinnati Masters 1000. Cahill had planned to meet Sinner at the airport in Los Angeles but was informed at the last minute that Sinner would not be participating in the event.

Frustration on both fronts

Both Sinner's medical situation and the communication issues with Cahill have left the team in a state of frustration, according to Gilbert, who described the overall situation as "very frustrating."
