Amidst the anticipation, news has surfaced that Juan Carlos Ferrero, Alcaraz’s esteemed coach, and former Grand Slam champion, will be absent from the Australian Open. The reason behind Ferrero’s unexpected absence lies in his recent knee surgery, leaving Alcaraz to navigate the tournament’s challenges without his mentor’s familiar presence.

The Australian Open is one of the most important tournaments of a tennis season. Alcaraz not being at his 100% will definitely shake up his whole season. However, there is no one to point fingers at. This surgery was long due for Ferrero and it’s a healthy sign that it is finally getting attention. Alcaraz might not have the advantage of being around a seasoned coach, but tennis has always been a multi-faceted game.
