So, the other day I was watching some tennis highlights, you know, just browsing around. Alcaraz pops up, kid’s incredible, right? And it got me thinking, who’s actually coaching this guy? You see these young talents burst onto the scene, and there’s always someone behind them, pulling the strings, doing the hard yards on the practice court.

My curiosity got the better of me. First thing I did, I grabbed my tablet – easier on the eyes than the phone sometimes. Opened up my usual search engine, nothing fancy.
I just typed in something straightforward, like “Alcaraz coach” or maybe it was “who coaches Carlos Alcaraz”. Didn’t need to get complicated.
Instantly, a load of results came back. You know how it is. News articles, sports sites, fan forums. But one name kept jumping out at me, right there at the top most times.
Finding the Answer
The name was Juan Carlos Ferrero. Sounded familiar.
I poked around a bit more, just looking at the first couple of trustworthy-looking results, not obscure blogs or anything. And yep, confirmed. Everywhere said the same thing:
- Juan Carlos Ferrero is his main coach.
- They’ve been working together for a while now, since Alcaraz was quite young, actually.
Then it clicked. Ferrero! Of course. I remember him playing. Solid player back in his day, even reached number one in the world for a bit. Makes sense, doesn’t it? A former top player guiding the next generation. You see that a lot in tennis.
So, there you have it. Took me maybe, what, two minutes? Just a simple search. It’s Juan Carlos Ferrero behind Carlos Alcaraz. Good pairing, seems to be working out pretty well for them!
