Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz said his setup is largely unchanged after December’s split, describing the team as restructured and “just missing one,” with Samuel López now leading.
- Juan Carlos Ferrero told El Cafelito he unfollowed Alcaraz on Instagram to create emotional distance, adding he wants a meeting to “normalize” relations and give him a hug.
- Ferrero said he “couldn’t say no” if Alcaraz asked him to coach again, while stressing there have been no indications of a reunion.
- Addressing the breakup, Ferrero rejected money and training-base narratives, citing a failed contract renewal and internal differences over how to continue working together.
- Alcaraz is 12–0 in 2026 with titles at the Australian Open and Qatar Open, becoming the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam, and he begins his Indian Wells campaign under the restructured team.
