  • Darren Cahill SUCCESS at EVERY STAGE
    d darren cahill SUCCESS AT EVERY STAGE BY CHRIS ODDO The Player | Pro Tour 1984-1994 Darren Cahill was a short, skinny child. But even as one of the smallest kids in high school, he displayed athletic promise. The son of a prominent Aussie-rules football coach, Darren finally experienced a growth spurt. The development, ironically, marked the onset of knee problems. Cahill had his sights on the pro Tour and, at 17, began working with legendary Australian coach Bob Carmichael. After two years, Cahill would turn pro and later credit Carmichael for much of his accomplishments. “Bob [Carmichael] left a big mark on me. I would put down most of what I’ve learned about coaching primarily to him. It’s not only what I teach, but how I teach.” Constant knee injuries inhibited Cahill from producing consistent wins on the Tour. He would, however, advance to the semi-finals of the U.S. Open in 1988, his best result in a Major and where he beat Boris Becker in the second round. One year later he reached a career high ranking, No. 22. But by his mid-twenties Cahill endured double digit surgeries and suddenly found himself at a crossroad. “When I was 25 I was pretty much wiped out of the game.” Sidelined for three years, he would attempt a “mini-comeback,” as he calls it. But his efforts were fruitless, so a discouraged Cahill retired in 1994 at age 29. Cahill says his only regret as a tennis player is that he believes injuries prevented him from realizing his full potential.

    The Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation News Celebrating the past, supporting the present and promoting the future. Produced for Members of the Foundation ABN 90 004 905 060 March 2017 Australia defeats Czech Republic 4-1 Congratulations to the Australian Davis Cup team of Nick Kyrgios, Jordan Thompson, Sam Groth, John Peers and Captain Lleyton Hewitt on their comprehensive victory over the Czech Republic at the Kooyong Tie on February 4th - 6th. This time the tie was held on the same surface as the Australian Open, rather than grass, and the surface seemed to suit our players, in particular Jordan Thompson, who played a great first rubber to defeat his higher ranked Czech opponent. He proved to be a very adequate replacement for Bernie Tomic who unfortunately had “scheduling problems” and missed the tie. The crowd was down on the previous tie v USA at Kooyong, perhaps because of the proximity to the Australian Open and the warmer weather in February. Kooyong did however provided some shaded seats and most of our members were not inconvenienced by the heat. The next tie will be in Brisbane against the USA from April 7th - 9th.
