Juan Carlos Ferrero has reacted to his split with Carlos Alcaraz in a heartfelt statement and admitted he wishes the partnership could have continued.<\/p>\n
Alcaraz made the shock announcement on Wednesday<\/a> that his long-standing and hugely successful player-coach collaboration with Ferrero had come to an end.<\/p>\n The split comes after a 2025 season that Alcaraz ended on top of the ATP Rankings after winning eight titles, including two Grand Slams, and reaching 11 finals.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old Spanish star had been coached by Ferrero since 2018, when he joined the 2003 French Open winner\u2019s academy in Alicante as a 16-year-old.<\/p>\n The world No 1 won all 24 of his ATP Tour titles to date, including his six Grand Slams, with Ferrero in his team.<\/p>\n Ferrero, a former world No 1, won the ATP Coach of the Year Award in both 2022 and 2025 for his success with Alcaraz.<\/p>\n \u201cToday is a difficult day. One of those when it\u2019s hard to find the right words. Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when there are so many shared experiences behind it.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have worked hard, grown together, and shared unforgettable moments. I want to thank you for the time, the trust, the learning, and above all, for the people who have surrounded me throughout this journey.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s coach pinpoints the \u2018turning point\u2019 which saved his \u2018extraordinary\u2019 2025 season<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz proved he is \u2018practically unbeatable\u2019 in 2025, claims two-time Slam finalist<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI take with me laughter, challenges overcome, conversations, support during difficult moments, and the satisfaction of having been part of something truly unique.<\/p>\n \u201cToday, a very important chapter of my life comes to an end. I close it with nostalgia, but also with pride and excitement for what may come next. I know that everything I have lived has prepared me to be better.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you, Carlos, for the trust, the effort, and for making your way of competing make me feel so special.
