ATP coach of the year

Six-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz has split with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero in a shock move. Alcaraz, 22, has worked with his fellow Spaniard since he was a teenager, but announced on Wednesday that the pair have “decided to part ways” before the 2026 season. Neither the world number one nor Ferrero has given a reason for the split but it is understood Ferrero did not want to leave his role.
