Juan Carlos Ferrero reveals strategy behind Alcaraz sealing Wimbledon title: "We copied a little bit of Murray, Federer and Djokovic"

Juan Carlos Ferrero revealed Carlos Alcaraz's success at Wimbledon and admitted that they copied some things from Andy Murray, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic.

Spanish coach is currently experiencing a great moment alongside his 20-year-old protege Alcaraz, who recently claimed the Wimbledon title after a thrilling final, defeating 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic 1-6, 7-6(8), 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

Ferrero was interviewed by Mats Wilander and Barbara Schett on Eurosport, where he discussed Alcaraz's quick adaptation to grass. Despite having limited matches on this surface, Alcaraz maintained a perfect record of 12-0 in the Queen's Club Championship and Wimbledon, winning both prestigious trophies.

“We copied a little of Murray, Roger and Novak, and he tries to copy a little bit the same. In the end, it wasn't easy, but we did it.”

Juan Carlos Ferrero highlighted one of the key moments when his pupil reached an exceptional level, which was when he defeated Daniil Medvedev.

"We said that he would have to play more or less the same level that he played against Medvedev," Ferrero explained.

"Medvedev is on the baseline all the time and Carlos likes to use the slice to bring the opponent to the net. That was something we needed to do against Novak, so it was one of the keys to break his rhythm.

"In the end, I think he was very brave in the way he finished the match.”

"He's going to have some rest to reset a little bit and go to the United States feeling powerful and fresh again," he said.

"I think we've learnt a lot of things after the US Open, so we have to do things a little bit differently here.

"He and the team know this, and I think we are ready to do things a little bit better."

In the interview, the former world No. 1, Mats Wilander, also praised Alcaraz and expressed his opinion that he has the potential to stay at the top for many years.

"Once you love this tournament and love the grass, you are going to be coming back and feeling like you can win it every year," he said.

"I think we are seeing a multiple Wimbledon champion before our eyes right now. Alcaraz is a complete player at 20 years old.

"It is going to be incredible what he achieves because this was maybe the best Wimbledon match in terms of its level that I have ever seen."
