Cinkus reflects on Fils’ impressive return from injury, detailing the work behind the scenes that has fuelled his recent surge, including a title in Barcelona and deep runs in Miami and Indian Wells. He shares insight into the mentality required to come back from setbacks, the discipline Fils brings to his training, and even reveals the light-hearted incentive that could earn him a well-deserved holiday if he reaches the latter stages at Roland Garros. The conversation also takes listeners courtside, with Cinkus describing what it’s really like coaching in high-pressure moments, including saving match points in Miami, and the communication between player and coach during matches. Cinkus also discusses the impact of Goran Ivanisevic joining the team and how their collaboration is helping shape Fils’ development at the top level. 🎙️ Our introductory background episode is live in this feed if you’d like to learn more about who we are and why we created Tales from Tennis. 🚨 Stay tuned for another special guest from the tennis world on Wednesday 6 May.
