Ben Shelton has bolstered his coaching setup with the addition of Carlos Alcaraz’s former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero for the 2027 season. When Ferrero announced his plans to return to coaching, many speculated who would be his next project. But his inclusion in Shelton’s camp came as a surprise to many.
Rather than replacing the southpaw’s father, Bryan, the Spaniard will work with him. The 2003 US Open champion Andy Roddick believes Ferrero’s ambitions could be driven by the desire to beat his former protege.
