Juan Carlos Ferrero has dropped a bomb. After several months of evading the question, he now confirms: he would like to coach Jannik Sinner. Seven months after his abrupt ending with Carlos Alcaraz, whom he coached from the beginning in the elite to achieving six Grand Slams, the Spaniard is starting to make moves to possibly be the pupil of the current world number one.

This was affirmed in an interview with El Corriere della Sera, where he also talked about what is happening at this Roland Garros, as well as the virtues of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Joao Fonseca, and Rafa Jódar.

Juan Carlos Ferrero declares he would like to coach Jannik Sinner

"Just a few months ago, I would have said no: the breakup with Carlos was recent and I wasn't ready. But now that I feel stronger, I say: why not? Sinner loves to work hard and is willing to do whatever it takes to stay as number one: I like his attitude. It would be wonderful to coach him."

Seven months after his split with Alcaraz, he doesn't hide that he misses certain habits from his time with the Murcian: "His attitude on the court: aggressive, but always with a smile. I have seen him grow since he was 15, reaching levels I never thought possible. With him, you always felt like you were making history in this sport. Talking about it brings back memories, it's normal to feel a little sadness. But I'm fine: I move between the Academy and my home, I travel a lot, I gave Carlos all I could. Talking about it is never easy."

However, he admits he has barely spoken with El Palmar's kid: "Not much. I wrote to him when he won in Australia and in Doha. I spoke to him when he got injured. Nothing more. Both of us needed space to start anew."

Ferrero believes Alcaraz is better than Sinner

"They compete in details. Carlos is more dynamic, has more shots, and can disrupt Jannik's rhythm, who likes to play in one way above all: fast, hitting at the same height. At his pace, he is very difficult to beat. For me, Carlos is 100% ahead: a 55%-45%. But between those two, they have always been and always will be very open matches."

I am VERY SURPRISED by these current words of Juan Carlos Ferrero about Sinner.

He not only spoke about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but also about the two new promises of world tennis: "We already knew about Fonseca, but Jodar surprised us all. He is very mentally strong; coaching the Davis Cup with Carlos helped him understand the areas he needs to improve. He was able to progress in the shadow of Alcaraz, without distractions. He's like Sinner: a forehand that needs perfecting, a backhand that is a natural shot. For now, Rafael's father is enough; we'll see in the future. Without a doubt, Fonseca and Jodar deserve Grand Slam titles."

He also took the opportunity to give his opinion on everything happening at this Roland Garros: "Strange things have happened. Alcaraz, who would have been the favorite on clay, is not here, and Sinner lost immediately. For everyone else, it was a wake-up call: they opened their eyes and realized this is their chance of a lifetime. I see Zverev better prepared; in any case, we will have a new Grand Slam champion after the quarterfinals were dominated by Alcaraz and Sinner."

"Looking to the future, it's an interesting shift: for at least a couple of years, those two will maintain their superiority, but Paris 2026 marks a change of pace for the pursuers, who have realized that Sinner is not invincible. It will be motivation for everyone: those in charge and those chasing," states a Juan Carlos Ferrero who no longer hides his interest in coaching Jannik Sinner.
