Juan Carlos Ferrero Rebuts Fabricated Yacht Quote and Calls Out Media Misreporting

Ferrero’s Instagram post, backed by an ATP transcript, underscores lingering strain from his December split with Carlos Alcaraz.

Overview

  • On Friday, Ferrero posted an official Instagram statement that attached the ATP interview transcript to show he was misquoted about a reported $9 million yacht remark.
  • He said the circulated quote never referenced his children and clarified that he often acted as a disciplinarian while advising Alcaraz during their seven-year partnership.
  • Ferrero called the misreporting unacceptable and urged journalists to verify transcripts before publishing because the false quote spread quickly online.
  • He acknowledged he still misses Alcaraz and that they "don't talk much," and noted Alcaraz won the Australian Open under coach Samuel López but is currently out with a right‑wrist injury and aiming to return by the US Open.
  • Ferrero said he would consider coaching other top players, naming Jannik Sinner as an example, a remark that could shift dynamics in the elite coaching market.
