Carlos Ferrero\u2019s split from former charge Carlos Alcaraz still cuts deep for the Spaniard.<\/p>\n<p>Seemingly out of the blue, the then six-time major winner announced the end of his seven-year stint with Ferrero last December.<\/p>\n<p>Many felt this was a mistake but just over a month later, Alcaraz won his first Australian Open to complete the career Grand Slam at the age of 22 \u2013 the youngest ever to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz made a seamless transition to Samuel Lopez\u2019s sole stewardship, while Ferrero\u2019s importance appeared to fade into the background.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the former French Open winner said he wanted to continue working with the player he had teamed up with at the age of 15.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More Tennis

Overall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/juan-carlos-ferrero\">Ferrero<\/a> does \u201cmiss\u201d his former pupil.<\/p>\n<p>He told Corriere della Sera, \u201cI miss the way he carried himself on the court \u2013 aggressive, yet always with a smile. I watched him grow from the time he was 15, reaching heights I never thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith him, you always had the feeling that you were writing the history of this sport. Talking about it brings back memories; a little sadness is normal. But I\u2019m okay: I gave Carlos everything I could. Talking about it is never easy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they put a 15-year-old in your hands, you have to teach him everything. It\u2019s not an easy job. In hindsight, I\u2019d change a few small things, but not the essence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI imposed tough training and discipline on Carlos right from the start. I pushed him to the limit many times. I kept him grounded. That\u2019s my way of doing things, and the work paid off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t talk much. I wrote to him when he won in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/australian-open\">Australia<\/a> and in Doha. I spoke to him when he got injured. Nothing more. We both needed space to start over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz is currently out with a wrist injury, a problem that forced him to miss the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\">French Open<\/a> and has ruled him out of this summer\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen when he will return and if Ferrero will get back into coaching anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT ELSE? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/serena-williams-caused-concern-after-her-first-practice-at-queens\">Serena Williams causes real concern after first Queen\u2019s practice<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018We don\u2019t talk much\u2019 \u2013 Juan Carlos Ferrero reveals Carlos Alcaraz regrets Richie Mills 05 Jun 2026 4:30 PM Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero Juan Carlos Ferrero\u2019s split from former charge Carlos Alcaraz still cuts deep for the Spaniard.
