Carlos Alcaraz set to have Juan Carlos Ferrero back by his side as South American Clay Court season kicks off
ATPThursday, 01 February 2024 at 03:30
Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has received a
major boost after having a difficult start to the 2024 season.
The 20-year-old is often regarded as one of the most
highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s singles category alongside
Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
Alcaraz has received a major boost as he will have his regular
coach Juan Carlos Ferrero back in the camp after some time away. He was also absent from the coaching staff during the recently concluded Australian Open.
In his absence, Alcaraz was coached by Samuel Lopez but that
didn’t prove to be the right combination his journey came to an end in the
quarterfinal to Germany’s Alexander Zverev with a score of 6-1, 6-3, 6-7, 6-4.
The former world number one will be hoping that the return
of his normal coach Ferrero will prove to be helpful in the tournaments to
come.
Alcaraz made a name
for himself after beating the current world number one and legendary Serbian tennis
star Novak Djokovic in the final at Wimbledon last year in a five-set thriller
with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4. It was his second major title as
he also won the US Open in 2022 after beating Norway’s Casper Ruud with a score
of 6–4, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–3.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
