SHOCK: CARLOS ALCARAZ FIRES MENTOR: DISCOVER THE RIDICULOUS REASON BEHIND FERRERO’S SUDDEN SPLIT
Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero split after a 48-hour contract ultimatum. Discover the ridiculous money truth here
Guy Forget, the former world No. 4, thinks one reason for Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero splitting up is ridiculous.
Last Wednesday, it came out that Alcaraz and Ferrero were done, ending their coach-player thing that started in 2018.
Neither Alcaraz nor Ferrero has said why they broke up, but reports are giving us some clues.
Spanish media says the main reason was that Ferrero was offered less money and some changes to their deal that he didn't like.
A source close to Ferrero told CLAY and RG Media: It's simple. The contract was for a year.
The 2025 contract ended in November, and they waited until the 13th of this month to give him a new one and wanted it signed by the 15th. Juan Carlos didn't accept it, and they didn't want to change anything.
CLAY says Ferrero had two days to read and sign the contract. He made a counteroffer, but they didn't take it.
Another source told CLAY and RG Media: Ferrero and Alcaraz's dad didn't agree on how to handle the player's career.
Forget talked about the news and the reasons for the split in an interview with Tennis Actu.
I'm a bit surprised, like many tennis fans, because the partnership was really successful. We know how much Carlos Alcaraz owes to Juan Carlos Ferrero, who's been his coach for years, the Frenchman said.
We don't really know what happened between them, especially since it's just before the next season. You'd think they're already getting ready.
So, it's not ideal for Carlos Alcaraz. But when things are going so well with such good results, you wonder if it can get even better. It'll be hard to do better.
The first idea, I find a bit weird. Players like Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner make so much money these days. A coach like Juan Carlos Ferrero, I'm sure he was paid what he deserved.
So if that's really the reason, it's crazy, because a player making, I don't know, 30 million euros a year, paying his coach 800,000 or 1,500,000... it brings him so much more than he pays anyway.
The second reason, which I think is more likely, is that tensions build up with the people around him. When things aren't going well, it's not always the player who gets it: it's the girlfriend, the wife, the dad, the mom, or the agent.
Sometimes, agents cause problems and make things worse.
It's a shame because this partnership is so good. We know what we have; we don't know what's next.
When you have a young star like that, at 22, who's won everything with his mentor... and suddenly, things change.
THE EIGHT-YEAR GAP: SVITOLINA REACHES FIRST WTA 1000 FINAL SINCE 2018 IN DUBAI
Svitolina stuns Gauff! Discover how she reached the Dubai final to face Pegula, plus Alcaraz's 11-0 streak and Venus' return.
Elina Svitolina stunned world number four Coco Gauff to earn a spot in the Dubai Tennis Championships final, where she’ll face Jessica Pegula.
Pegula got there first, clawing her way back after a rough start against Amanda Anisimova. She dropped the first set badly and even lost her serve early in the second, but still pulled off a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win.
Gauff, just 21, almost set up an all-American final, but Svitolina refused to fold. The match? Epic. Svitolina took it 6-4, 6-7 (13-15), 6-4 after more than three hours on court. She let four match points slip in a wild second-set tiebreak, but didn’t let that break her. She powered through the decider, and now she’s back in the Dubai final for the first time since she won the title back-to-back in 2017 and 2018.
“I was playing like there’s no tomorrow, just giving it everything,” Svitolina said afterwards.
Over in the men’s Qatar Open, world number one Carlos Alcaraz kept his perfect 2026 record alive. He beat Andrey Rublev 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 to reach the final. Alcaraz, just 22, already grabbed the Australian Open this season and became the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam. He’s won all 11 matches he’s played this year.
“I know what I can do every time I step on the court,” Alcaraz said.
He’ll face Arthur Fils from France in the final. Fils beat Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic, who’d knocked out world number two Jannik Sinner earlier in the week, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
And in some more big news, Venus Williams is heading back to Indian Wells. The seven-time Grand Slam champ, now 45, got a wildcard for both singles and doubles.
“It’s great to be heading back to Indian Wells and returning home to California,” Williams said in a statement.
9-0 STREAK: ANALYZING CARLOS ALCARAZ’S PERFECT START TO THE 2026 TENNIS SEASON
Alcaraz hits 9-0: Discover why Valentin Royer warned Alcaraz and Sinner after their 2026 clash and the latest ATP rankings.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner just got a playful warning from their ATP rival, Valentin Royer.
Alcaraz, with seven Grand Slam titles, and Sinner, who has four, have completely owned men’s tennis for the last couple of years. They’ve split the last nine majors; each grabbed four ATP Masters 1000 trophies; and keep swapping the No. 1 spot in the ATP Rankings.
No one else has really kept up. Novak Djokovic is still hanging around, but the rest of the guys, like Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Ben Shelton, are all chasing from behind.
Alcaraz is rolling right now. He’s unbeaten in 2026 so far, standing at 9-0. After winning his first Australian Open title, he followed up with wins over Arthur Rinderknech and Royer.
After Alcaraz beat Royer 6-2, 7-5, the two shared a light moment at the net. Royer, currently world No. 60, told Alcaraz, “I’ll come for you and Jannik, don’t worry. Some day.” Alcaraz laughed and said, “I will wait for you, man.”
Royer actually had a shot in the second set. He broke Alcaraz’s serve early and was up 5-3, serving for the set, but Alcaraz broke back, held serve, and broke again to close out the match.
Asked if he was nervous, Alcaraz admitted, “Honestly, I had to be ready for anything. There were moments when I thought about a third set; I’m not going to lie. But that was just a small part of my mind. Mostly, I was focused on finding solutions, figuring out how to get back on track.
“I’m really happy I found my rhythm again and played good tennis. Sometimes it just comes down to one point. Closing out a set or a match isn’t always easy. I just had to stay in it, and I’m glad I turned it around and got the win in straight sets.”
Next, he faces seventh seed Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinals. If he gets through, he’ll meet either Andrey Rublev or Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semis. Sinner is the likely opponent waiting in the final.
“Everybody expects us to play every final, every tournament, but that’s not easy. There are a lot of players out here who want to beat us,” Alcaraz said about a possible final against Sinner.
