With Ferrero, who coached the Spaniard since he was 15 years old, Alcaraz claimed six Grand Slams: two French Open titles, two Wimbledon crowns and two US Opens \u2014 including the most recent one at Flushing Meadows in September. He amassed 24 tour-level titles, including eight Masters 1000 trophies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter more than seven years together, Juanki and I have decided to bring our chapter together as coach and player to an end,\u201d the 22-year-old Alcaraz wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for turning childhood dreams into reality. We started this journey when I was barely a kid, and throughout all this time you\u2019ve accompanied me on an incredible journey, on and off the court. I\u2019ve enjoyed every single step with you immensely.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Ferrero, Alcaraz became the youngest player to reach No. 1 in the ATP rankings after winning the U.S. Open in 2022 at 19.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday is a difficult day,\u201d Ferrero said. \u201cOne of those when it\u2019s hard to find the right words. Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when there are so many shared experiences behind it. We have worked hard, grown together, and shared unforgettable moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alcaraz did not say whether he would hire a new coach as a replacement. Last year, Alcaraz hired Samuel Lopez to work alongside Ferrero.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Ferrero and Lopez were named coaches of the year in the ATP awards after helping Alcazar reclaim the No. 1 spot.<\/p>\n
In yet another prolific season, Alcazar won a career-best and season-leading 71 matches wins and finished with eight titles, including trophies at Roland-Garros and the US Open.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been an incredible team despite the difficulties, and I am sure you will continue to achieve great success,\u201d Ferrero said. \u201cI wish I could have continued. I am convinced that good memories and good people always find a way to cross paths again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
