Description
Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero have been one of the most successful **player–coach partnerships in modern tennis** — so a split raise major questions. Was this simply the next step in the evolution of a Grand Slam champion?
In this video, I break down the **Carlos Alcaraz–Juan Carlos Ferrero coaching split**, why the timing is really awkward, and what this decision could mean for the next phase of Alcaraz’s career.
Alcaraz is no longer a rising star — he’s a **multiple Grand Slam champion**. If he wants to become one truly greatest of the game of tennis, does he need a fresh perspective to reach the next level, or was Ferrero the irreplaceable foundation behind his success?

Does Alcaraz need a new voice — or was Ferrero essential to everything he’s become?
