As one of the great icons of international tennis, Darren Cahill knows the inner workings of the sport better than anyone. 

Despite being the son of footy legend John Cahill, Darren had success as a tennis player before becoming a coach to the world’s best and a top media analyst. 

Darren famously coached Lleyton Hewitt, leading the then 20 year old to his first major title at the US Open in 2001. He then guided legend Andre Agassi back to number one in the world at the ripe old age of 33, and also coached Simona Halep to No.1 on the WTA Tour and her first Major, the 2018 French Open.

The man nicknamed ‘Killer’ has also been an ESPN tennis analyst since 2007 and is recognised by audiences for his on air insights.
