Jannik Sinner’s coach Simone Vagnozzi urges calm, reminding that ups and downs are part of the journey. In the meantime, however, they went deeper by involving an expert like Joseph Cannillo, who specializes in integration and holistic approach. His work starts with a complete analysis of the athlete: posture, mechanics, biochemistry.

Cannillo, who has been working with Novak Djokovic for some time, focuses especially on energy and recovery. “Mine is a holistic approach, we treat the root causes of problems by analyzing various aspects: posture, mechanics, biochemistry,” reads Corriere della Sera. With Sinner, the work has been aimed precisely at improving energy management, through personalized supplementation and in-depth study of the body, right down to DNA analysis.

The key concept is not just what to take, but when and how much. “The real breakthrough was not on what to supplement. It was on when and how much. The right dose, at the exact biological time: we talk about chronobiology.” A principle that has already made a difference for Djokovic and can now become an additional weapon for Sinner as well.

The path, however, has no end point. It is an ongoing work of adjustments and new discoveries. And having as a reference a champion like Djokovic, a master not only on the court but also in managing his body, remains an invaluable guide. Sinner is fully aware of this, and this is where his growth comes from.
