- Ferrero rejected financial speculation and attributed the split to an irreconcilable disagreement over a new contract.
- He has launched a 2026 collaboration in golf with young pro Ángel Ayora, focusing on mental preparation and professional development.
- Assessing Alcaraz’s present level under coach Samuel López, Ferrero called him slightly favored in Melbourne and said his ceiling could make him the best in history.
