Carlos Alcaraz has did it again! For the second time in a row, the 20-year-old Spaniard has won the Indian Wells title. While everyone around him was happy with the victory, it was his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, who also got emotional seeing Alcaraz lift one more Masters 1000 title. But do you know that for the past few months, the Spanish coach has not been a part of the player’s box?

Even though both of them have shared a great player-coach relationship, the Indian Wells victory was something that got both of them emotional, displaying their bond with each other. Let’s take a look at the emotional moment that took place after the championship match.

Carlos Alcaraz’s coach left emotional after the Indian Wells victory 

After a tough competition throughout the whole tournament in defeating his opponents, the world number two-ranked tennis player finally made it to the final round of the event. In the last step to defend his Indian Wells crown, he faced Daniil Medvedev and achieved victory against him.

After the final shot, to celebrate the victory, when the two-time Grand Slam champion climbed up to his box, it was his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, who was seen emotionally hugging the 20-year-old. Looking into the video, not only was it an emotional moment for his coach, but after a long time, he was seen in the player’s box, as the 44-year-old Spanish tennis player was struggling with his own injuries.

His absence from the Australian Open was particularly noticeable, as he was recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. But after a few months now, Ferrero has put his support for his mentee above his regrets over missing one of the biggest events in the sport. He traveled to Indian Wells despite his physical difficulties because he was committed to supporting the 20-year-old while he defended his title.

On the other hand, by making this gesture, the Spanish coach demonstrated not just his undying dedication to his player’s achievement but also the strong link that exists between coach and athlete even in the face of adversity and physical limits. Not only that, just a few days ago, the world number two talked about having a good back at the Indian Wells by his side.

Carlos Alcaraz on having Ferrero by his side 

During a press conference recently, the 20-year-old opened up about how having his Spanish coach by his side is quite great for him after he missed the Australian Open at the start of the season. Further, you also highlighted how there are a lot of things different when he is with his coach, traveling around the world to different tournaments that they have been doing since 2017.

He stated, “I mean, every tournament that I go with him is special… I don’t know, every time that I’m traveling with Juan Carlos is special because I’m with him since 2017. It’s a long path with him, so it’s special traveling with him. But doesn’t matter that I’m going to play better with him or not.” In addition, while Alcaraz clearly highlighted how the 44-year-old Spanish coach’s presence does not make a huge difference to him play-wise, at the same time, it’s just special for him as they have been together for such a long time.
