Familiar face to help Carlos Alcaraz as Juan Carlos Ferrero not present at Olympic Games
ATPSaturday, 13 July 2024 at 15:17
Carlos Alcaraz is fully focused on the grand final of Wimbledon 2024 that the Spaniard will play this Sunday, July 14. The Spaniard will once again face Novak Djokovic in a rematch of last year's title match, while it has been confirmed that his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, will not be his coach at the next Olympic Games in Paris, to be held from July 26 to August 4.
The news has been confirmed this Saturday. Ferrero will not be part of Carlitos' coaching staff in an Olympic event where he will compete both in the singles and doubles with Rafa Nadal, forming a historic pair in the last great tournament of the Spanish tennis legend.
The news is not strange at all, it is something completely normal with Juan Carlos Ferrero. Alcaraz's coach has always taken his vacations, and there have been many tournaments where Carlos has competed in which he has not been present. Only in the case of disputing the final rounds of the Olympic Games, Ferrero would travel to Paris to attend as a guest.
David Ferrer to take over from Ferrero
The person in charge of captaining Carlos Alcaraz, Nadal and the rest of the Spanish team at the Olympic Games will be David Ferrer, who is the national coach of the Davis Cup. Personally, Carlitos will be accompanied by his agent Albert Molina.
Beyond what happens at the Olympic Games, Carlos Alcaraz is probably not worried about all this right now. He is less than 24 hours away from fighting against Djokovic to win Wimbledon 2024. If he succeeds, the player from El Palmar de Murcia would achieve, in addition to revalidate last year's title, the fourth Grand Slam of his career with only 21 years old.

- Anti-Social media has no guardrails... and the Lowest Common Denominators are free to demean and denounce anyone, any time; and obviously do so on a daily basis. Why? Because thus far, given the lack of oversight (much less control) over these public immorally bankrupt entities, there is little-to-no possibility of legal repercussion.

Unless this woman is running for office she doesn't get -- nor deserve -- the opportunity to literally reinvent what she plainly said the first time. She's no longer a tennis player, does not represent the sport, and should therefor refrain from meaningless drivel and snottyass remarks about her former colleagues.mandoist11-09-2024
- How is it not clear to pro tennis Elitists in charge that flooding the sport with more and more tournaments is NOT the answer? Such decisions made through PURE GREED disguised as "offering more up & coming players a chance to compete". This sport is, at the very foundation, a Business. Any corporate entity should know by now that introducing too many 'franchises' to a limited market is counterproductive to say the very least? And let us not forget the Top Athletes cannot be everywhere week-to-week no matter how much money the tourneys throw at them. Therefor you get a situation such as the US Open missing out on the Best-of-the-Best. Simple economics -- and definitely common sense -- seems to be lost on the WTA/ATP 'experts' in the offices.mandoist11-09-2024
