It will be Sinner's first event since retiring with a knee injury at the French Open.

Ciao everyone, sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here, it was really frustrating for me to withdraw from RG, but I wanted to update you that my knee is feeling better and I’m preparing with my team for Eastbourne. Excited to get on the grass 🇬🇧 #Forzaa https://t.co/9AINVSH7Ps

The rising youngster had been rumored to be looking for a big-name to lead his team following his split with childhood coach Riccardo Piatti following the Australian Open, and is also being guided by Simone Vagnozzi.

Cahill, former coach of Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt and Simona Halep, had started the season working with Amanda Anisimova, but then decided to take a break from the tour.

On social media this week, he said he was "healthy again, rested and excited" to be getting back to work, though he did not name a player. Cahill also works as a commentator for ESPN.

Neither has officially announced the new pairing.
