In a recent interview with Alize Lim and Mats Wilander, John McEnroe was all praises for the Italian star Jannik Sinner. The Italian had expressed his desire to add another member to his coaching team to help regular coach Riccardo Piatti.

In response, McEnroe offered his services and said that he would definitely be interested in an advisory role in the 20-year-old’s team.

“I am definitely available,” McEnroe said for Jannik Sinner

While 7-time Grand Slam winner McEnroe has many media commitments, he offered a part-time and advisory role to Sinner.

McEnroe said, “I am definitely available on a part-time basis, helping Jannik Sinner getting over the hump – which I’ll believe he’ll get over whether I coach him or not.”
