Madrid, Spain – December 13, 2024
In the high-pressure world of professional tennis, it’s not uncommon for players to have coaches and mentors who guide them through the ups and downs of their careers. But for Carlos Alcaraz, his relationship with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero goes far beyond the typical player-coach dynamic.
Ferrero, a former world No. 1 and French Open champion, has been working with Alcaraz since the young Spaniard was just 15 years old. Over the years, their partnership has evolved into a deep and abiding friendship that transcends the tennis court.
“Juan Carlos is more than just my coach,” Alcaraz said in a recent interview. “He’s like a second father to me. He’s always there to offer advice, support, and encouragement, both on and off the court.”
Ferrero, who has been instrumental in shaping Alcaraz’s game and guiding him to the top of the tennis world, is equally effusive in his praise of his young protégé.
“Carlitos is an exceptional talent, but he’s also an exceptional person,” Ferrero said. “He’s got a heart of gold, and he’s always willing to listen and learn. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of his journey.”
Together, Alcaraz and Ferrero have achieved incredible success, with the young Spaniard winning numerous titles and rising to the top of the world rankings. But their bond goes far beyond mere tennis success.
“Juan Carlos has taught me so much more than just how to play tennis,” Alcaraz said. “He’s taught me about hard work, discipline, and perseverance. He’s taught me about the importance of family and friendship. And he’s taught me about how to be a good person, both on and off the court.”
As Alcaraz continues his march towards tennis superstardom, he knows that he can always count on Ferrero to be in his corner, offering guidance, support, and encouragement every step of the way.
“Juan Carlos is my rock,” Alcaraz said. “I don’t know where I’d be without him.”
