Panichi and Badio both join the Sinner camp having worked with 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the past.
Panichi worked with Djokovic from 2017 until May this year, when the Serbian ended his partnership with the Italian. Badio left the Djokovic camp at the end of 2022 after more than five years together.
Panichi and Badio had their first session with Sinner on Monday in Monte-Carlo, where the Italian is practising. They will then travel with Sinner to the ATP 500 event in Beijing in September and the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai next month. The 23-year-old will continue to work with osteopath Andrea Cipolla during the upcoming Asian swing.
Sinner holds a 55-5 record on the year according to Infosys Win/Loss Index, having won a Tour-leading six titles. The 23-year-old Italian, who climbed to World No. 1 in June, became the first player to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals earlier this year.
