Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero have ended their coaching partnership after working together for seven years. Ferrero started coaching Alcaraz when he was just 15 years old, guiding him to success. During their time together, Alcaraz achieved significant milestones, including winning six Grand Slam titles, becoming world No. 1, and securing an Olympic silver medal. Ferrero, a former world No. 1 and Grand Slam champion himself, recently received the ATP Coach of the Year Award alongside Samuel Lopez.
Alcaraz announced the split on social media, expressing gratitude for their journey and growth together. Ferrero also shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, reminiscing about their shared experiences and expressing pride in their accomplishments. While no specific reasons were given for Ferrero’s departure, Alcaraz continues to receive coaching from Samuel Lopez at Ferrero’s academy.
The end of this coaching era marks a new chapter for both Alcaraz and Ferrero, with new adventures and projects on the horizon. Despite parting ways, both remain appreciative of their time together and the impact they had on each other’s careers.
