The end of an era-defining partnership

A duo that reached the top of world tennis

Carlos Alcaraz’s farewell message

In his statement, Alcaraz acknowledged how difficult the decision was and expressed deep gratitude for Ferrero’s influence on his career:

“It is very difficult for me to write this post. After more than seven years together, Juanki and I have decided to bring our journey as coach and player to an end.

Thank you for turning childhood dreams into reality. We started this path when I was just a kid, and throughout all this time you have been by my side on an incredible journey, on and off the court.

We reached the top, and I feel that if our sporting paths had to separate, it had to be from up there. From the place we always worked for and aspired to reach.

You helped me grow as an athlete, but above all as a person. And something I truly value: I enjoyed the process.

Now times of change arrive, with new adventures and new projects. I wish you the very best from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for everything, Juanki.”

New challenges ahead

The split marks the end of a highly successful chapter and the beginning of new journeys for both Alcaraz and Ferrero. While their professional paths now diverge, the message makes clear they part ways with mutual respect, gratitude, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they gave everything.

Attention now turns to the next phase of Carlos Alcaraz’s career, as fans await news of who will join him for the next chapters of his remarkable tennis journey.
