Carlos Alcaraz was asked at the Laver Cup about the recent news that Juan Carlos Ferrero will return to coach a top-level tennis player next year. Since the former coach of the Murcian announced the news, rumors have circulated about which player he might be associated with, but Alcaraz's reaction to this fact was unknown.

It is well known that the relationship between the two was exceptional and that Juan Carlos was a fundamental piece in Alcaraz's success. However, there still lingers a bitter taste and a confusing feeling among fans regarding how their split occurred. The wound has been healing, Carlos's performance has not been affected, and now that we might see Ferrero coaching someone again, who knows if it will be a direct rival of the Murcian, he was questioned about it.

"I am very happy that he is going to return to the tour and to see him around here again. It’s going to be great. Whoever he coaches, I think the player will do very well," said the Spanish player, before clarifying that Ferrero had not informed him anything regarding this news.

It had been a long time since there was any reference from Alcaraz to Ferrero, or vice versa. Carlos's words show a complete absence of resentment or bitterness, with the Murcian sincerely expressing his desire for things to go well for his former coach.

It will be very interesting to see how this matter evolves if the rumors placing Ferrero as a potential coach for Sinner in 2027 are confirmed, which would be a true bombshell. In any case, there are other players who could work with the former Spanish tennis player.
