Coaches are the reason a player manages to reach new heights and win titles. Carlos Alcaraz is no different, and like every other player, he managed to become a grand slam champion with the help of his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero. While the Spanish coach accompanied him to every tournament, he was not in Melbourne to guide him through each round.

Carlos Alcaraz is back at the academy – ‘time to prepare for the Latin American clay-court’

The Spaniard has been facing a difficult time getting a good grasp on his skills since he won Wimbledon. With each proceeding tournament, Alcaraz has been exiting earlier and earlier. He did seem to get a grip in the ATP Finals, but the Australian Open saw him exit early as well. His coach did not accompany him in the Aussie slam, but the two are back together once again.

Ferrero Tennis Academy shared a video on their ‘X’ page of the Wimbledon champion playing rallies and practicing drills with his coach. “Welcome back @juankiferri. We’re so excited to see Juan Carlos training @carlosalcaraz again after his recovery🙌🏻 It’s time to prepare for the Latin American clay-court circuit! VAMOS TEAM🔥”.

After the 20-year-old Spaniard won the 2022 US Open, he became a popular figure around the world. He gained millions of fans, who are eagerly awaiting his return to winning slams. Many fans shared their thoughts of him reuniting with his coach to guide him better.

One fan said that he should stop focusing on making him like Rafael Nadal and develop original tactics.

For one fan, peace was restored with their reunion.

As the two prepare for the South American tour, one fan said that they can see joy and hope on the faces of both Spanish nationals. They also wished them well for the future.

Another fan encouraged them to keep going and said that they were very proud of them, regardless of whether they won or lost.

One fan had serious advice for Ferrero and said that he should take Alcaraz’s phone away. They further said he needs to stop chasing Novak Djokovic and needs to tackle the titles of other players who have won multiple slams first. 

Their reunion revives hope in the hearts of Alcaraz’s fans. With the upcoming ATP 500 tournaments, we will see how much he has recovered.
