"Everyone wants to know exactly why Carlos Alcaraz split up with Juan Carlos Ferrero. It was, by some margin, one of the most surprising coaching separations in the history of tennis, a decision that came with no clear warning immediately after the greatest season of Alcaraz's career. The discourse has since ranged from his alleged determination to reside exclusively at home in El Palmar, Murcia and train in his home academy, to potential discontent at Ferrero's absences from numerous tournaments last year."
"With Juan Carlos, we decide to do it. I'm just having plenty of confidence in the team that I have right now, Alcaraz said. The practices have gone really well. I'm just feeling well. I've got to say that I'm really grateful for this seven years I've been with Juan Carlos. I learned a lot. We closed this chapter in mutual [ways]. We both are still friends."
The split between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero was a surprising coaching separation made immediately after Alcaraz's greatest season. Speculation about reasons included Alcaraz's desire to live and train exclusively at his El Palmar, Murcia academy and frustration over Ferrero's absences from numerous tournaments. Ferrero has expressed sadness at the separation and said he did not want it. Alcaraz remained largely silent until his Australian Open presser, thanking Ferrero for seven years, saying the split was mutual and that they remain friends. Samuel Lopez has moved from assistant to main coach as Alcaraz pursues a career Grand Slam.
