There has been some controversy surrounding how Carlos Alcaraz's absence was managed in the 2025 Davis Cup Finals, with conflicting messages in the hours leading up to the final decision made by the Murcian team. However, David Ferrer clarified that the RFET doctor, Doctor Ángel Cotorro, was the first to inform him that it seemed very unlikely for him to be able to play when he saw the result of the scan that the world number 1 had in Bologna. Additionally, the national team's captain downplayed the fact that Carlos decided to go back to Murcia quickly instead of staying with his teammates. "He has been traveling a lot for a year, so it's normal that he wanted to go home," he concluded on El Partidazo de la Cadena Cope.
