Carlos Alcaraz has offered his immediate reaction to the news that his former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero has joined Ben Shelton's team. The Spanish star expressed surprise at the development, stating simply: "I'm not gonna believe that."
Ferrero, who guided Alcaraz to multiple Grand Slam titles including the 2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon championships, has reportedly begun working with American rising star Ben Shelton. The coaching change marks a significant shift in the ATP Tour landscape, with Ferrero moving from one of the game's top players to another promising talent.
Alcaraz and Ferrero parted ways in 2024 after a highly successful partnership. The 21-year-old Spaniard has since been working with his current coaching setup, while Ferrero's move to Shelton's camp adds an intriguing dynamic to future matchups between the two players.
