The new generation of tennis stars are some of the most affluent and skilled players ever. This notion has been backed by many big names in the tennis circuit. In a recent turn of events, Darren Cahill, the star coach of Italian sensation Jannik Sinner, gave a buzzing statement. Cahill joined the AO podcast to shed light on a lot of things. However his views on the stars like Sinner, specifically Ben Shelton became the highlight of this episode. 

It is absolutely true that Shelton has just made it in the top 20, whereas Sinner has been in the top 5 for quite some time now. However, it seems like Cahill puts both of them on the same scale.

In a statement that resonated beyond the podcast airwaves, Cahill offered a gaze into the future.
