Carlos Alcaraz has parted with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, ending a seven-year association that delivered six grand slam titles.
World number one Carlos Alcaraz has stunningly split from coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Alcaraz announced the end of their partnership in a post on social media, bringing to a close a spell of seven years working with Ferrero.
Ferrero began coaching Alcaraz when the now six-time grand slam champion was just 15, with his tutelage helping deliver six grand slam titles.
Two of those came in 2025 as Alcaraz prevailed at the French Open and the US Open, beating Jannik Sinner in both as the pair contested the final of all four grand slams this year, their dual dominance of men’s tennis continuing to grow.

Despite another hugely successful year, the 22-year-old Alcaraz will now be going in a different direction with a new coach.
“It’s very difficult for me to write this post. After more than seven years together, Juanki and I have decided to end our time together as coach and player,” Alcaraz wrote.
“Thank you for turning childhood dreams into realities. We started this journey when I was barely a kid, and throughout all this time you’ve accompanied me on an incredible journey, on and off the court. And I’ve enjoyed every step of it so much with you.
“We’ve managed to reach the top, and I feel that if our sports paths had to part ways, it had to be from up there. From the place we always worked toward and always aspired to reach. There are so many memories that come to mind that picking just one wouldn’t be fair. You’ve helped me grow as an athlete, but above all as a person.
“And something I value so much: I’ve enjoyed the process. That’s what I’ll hold onto, the path we’ve traveled together.
“Now times of change are coming for both of us, new adventures and new projects. But I’m certain we’ll face them the right way, giving our best, as we’ve always done. Always adding up.
“I wish you all the best from the heart in everything that comes. I’m left with the peace of mind of knowing we didn’t hold anything back, that we gave everything we had for each other.”
In a post on Instagram, Ferrero, a former world number one and winner of the 2003 French Open, wrote: “I would have liked to continue. I’m convinced that good memories and good people always find a way to cross paths again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
