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.
