A month and a half after the much-talked-about breakup between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero, and with an Open de Australia title in between, there are still opinions about the end of the relationship between the Valencian coach and the Murcian player, opinions that have been accentuated by the way both have handled the separation.

Ferrero's appearances in some national media during the Open de Australia, hinting at a hypothetical future with Jannik Sinner, were heavily criticized, while other voices, like that of Toni Nadal, were surprised by the absence of words from Alcaraz, after winning in Melbourne, in memory of his coach of 7 years.

The latest to give his opinion is the former tennis player and current tennis commentator, Feliciano López, who in an interview on the 'El Cafelito' podcast shared his opinion on the outcome of this partnership.

"I thought it was hasty. I felt Alcaraz still needed Ferrero a lot, even though I knew he is so good that he can keep winning on his own. The proof is that he went to Australia and won the Open de Australia," commented the director of the Mutua Madrid Open.

Regarding how both have managed this breakup, López believes that "everyone is different, each person grieves in their own way; I think Alcaraz remembered Ferrero because he is infinitely grateful for everything he has done for him, but he has not done it publicly."

To conclude this difficult topic, the Spaniard suggests that the best solution is the natural passage of time: "There is a lot of noise around it, and when a relationship is so intense, a little time will do well."

With the Alcaraz and Ferrero topic settled, López talked about his time as a tennis player, which coincided with the three greatest players of all time: Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, and Roger Federer, and took pride in it.

"We played in the best era in tennis history, and nobody can take that away from me. Having played against Djokovic, Rafa, Federer, Murray... if you faced Djokovic and played the match of your life, the next day Rafa was waiting, followed by Federer...," recalls the 7-time ATP champion.

He even addressed a topic that is also relevant today, the comparison between the Big-3 era and the current dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. "Saying that 10 years ago was the best time in tennis does not take merit away from current players like Alcaraz or Sinner. When people talk about the tennis eras... no one is discredited for saying that the best and most competitive era has been recent," 'Feli' López concluded.
