Ferrero Considers Coaching Sinner: “I Wouldn’t Say No, Needs Thought”

Juan Carlos Ferrero, former coach of Carlos Alcaraz, is exploring new ventures after ending their professional relationship. He is now advising golfer Ángel Ayora on mental strategies. Recently, Ferrero traveled to Dubai and is currently working with Ayora in Bahrain.

Ferrero Open to Coaching Jannik Sinner

During an interview with Cadena Ser’s program El Larguero, Ferrero was asked about the possibility of coaching Jannik Sinner. His response was notably open, stating, “I wouldn’t say no.” This speculation arises after Ferrero and Alcaraz announced their split just over a month ago.

Current Focus and Future Possibilities

As Alcaraz competes in Melbourne, Ferrero has shifted his focus towards golf while maintaining ties to tennis. He still runs his academy in Villena, Alicante. Although he has received four attractive offers to return to coaching in tennis, he has yet to find one compelling enough to make the leap.

Impressions of Sinner

• Ferrero acknowledges Sinner’s impressive performance, noting that he and Alcaraz are the top contenders currently.
• Despite not having watched any of Sinner’s matches live, Ferrero describes him as “very calm” and “mature.”
• The rapport between Ferrero and Sinner is positive, as they waved farewell to one another amicably.

Reflections on His Time with Alcaraz

Ferrero expressed that he misses working with Alcaraz, particularly during significant tournaments like the Australian Open. He clarified that the decision to part ways was influenced by multiple factors, not solely dictated by the player.

Previous Coaching Experience

Before coaching Alcaraz, Ferrero had a notable yet brief partnership with Alexander Zverev. This lasted from July 2017 to February 2018, during which Ferrero helped Zverev achieve success, including titles at Washington and the Masters 1000 in Canada. However, their differing philosophies on professionalism led to a split.

Looking Ahead

As Ferrero contemplates future endeavors, he remains open to potential opportunities. His deep connection to the sport and its players ensures he will continue to be a significant figure in tennis.
