The latest news surrounding Carlos Moya and Jannik Sinner is odd. On Tuesday, many outlets reported that Moya will be Sinner’s coach in 2026, replacing the retiring Darren Cahill.
At first glance, it seemed an unusual pairing. Moya is a retired Spanish tennis player and former coach of Rafael Nadal. Spanish tennis is a tight group. Former players tend to coach young and current Spanish players. Moya would be breaking that unwritten Spanish rule. To add insult to injury, he would be helping Sinner who is Spain’s top player Carlos Alcaraz’s chief rival.
