Former British tennis star Tim Henman has offered his perspective on American player Ben Shelton's decision to appoint Juan Carlos Ferrero as his new coach. The coaching change, announced recently, sees Ferrero, a former world No. 1 and 2003 French Open champion, join Shelton's team as the young American looks to build on his breakthrough season.
Henman, now a respected television analyst, shared his assessment of the partnership, highlighting Ferrero's experience in guiding players to the highest level. The Spaniard previously coached Carlos Alcaraz to multiple Grand Slam titles before parting ways earlier this year.
Shelton, 22, reached the US Open semifinals in 2023 and has established himself as one of the sport's most promising talents. The addition of Ferrero signals a clear intent to contend for major championships in the coming seasons.
