David Ferrer confessed in an interview with the SER network his first experience with Carlos Alcaraz. It was in Jávea during a preseason, and Ferrero convinced him to hit balls with the Murcian, who was only 14 years old: "We started training, and I would press him, and he would handle the first one, the second one as well, but on the third one, he accelerated. Then, my mind exploded because he was like Nadal. He was 14 years old, and we played a super tiebreak, and I won 10-8, but I think he let me win out of respect. I swear he was close to beating me. He's like Nadal, but with a different background, and he's a genius both as a tennis player and as a person."
