Carlos Alcaraz, on Wednesday (December 17), announced something that sent shock waves across the tennis community. Alcaraz has split with his longtime coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero.

He took to Instagram and wrote a lengthy message, thanking his now ex-coach for everything they achieved together. The Spanish coach joined the Spanish ace’s team in 2019 when Alcaraz was just 16.

It’s very difficult for me to write this post… After more than seven years together, Juanki and I have decided to end our time together as coach and player. Thank you for turning my childhood dreams into reality. We started this journey when I was just a kid, and throughout this time, you’ve accompanied me on an incredible adventure, both on and off the court. And I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every step of it with you.

Carlos Alcaraz wrote on Instagram

Under Ferrero, Alcaraz lifted six Grand Slam titles and reached the top of the No.1 rankng. The reason behind their split neither of them shared.

So many memories are flooding back that choosing just one wouldn’t be fair. You’ve helped me grow as an athlete, but above all, as a person. And something I value immensely: I’ve enjoyed the process. That’s what I’ll take with me, the journey we’ve shared. Now, a time of change is upon us, both, new adventures and new projects. But I’m certain that we’ll face them in the right way, giving our best, as we always have. Always adding value.
