Juan Carlos Ferrero has been linked with Jannik Sinner following his split from Carlos Alcaraz and the Spaniard has now revealed if there is any truth to those reports.<\/p>\n

2003 French Open champion Ferrero enjoyed a successful seven-year partnership with Alcaraz as he guided his compatriot from prodigy to a dominant figure on the ATP Tour<\/a> as the Spaniard became world No 1 and won six Grand Slams under his tutelage.<\/p>\n

But all good things come to an end as the pair stunned the tennis world in December 2025 when they announced they had gone their separate ways<\/a> with Alcaraz opting to appoint Samuel Lopez, who joined his team the previous year, as his head coach.<\/p>\n

Ferrero, meanwhile, took a short break before announcing he is starting a new professional collaboration as he swapped tennis rackets for golf clubs, as he started working with young Spanish golfer Angel Ayora<\/a>, working on the mental side of performance and professional development.<\/p>\n

That, though, is a short-term role and the former world No 1 has been linked with a return to tennis as he admitted that he had offers both from ATP and WTA players.<\/p>\n

Juan Carlos Ferrero tells Carlos Alcaraz what he \u2018needs to do\u2019 to become the GOAT <\/a><\/p>\n

Are Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner \u2018untouchable\u2019 at Grand Slams? Spaniard responds to rival\u2019s claim<\/a><\/p>\n

One name that often came up in conversations was that of Alcaraz\u2019s biggest rival Sinner<\/a>, but Ferrero has now put an end to those stories.<\/p>\n

When asked by El Pais about the reports, he replied: \u201cJust rumours. I haven\u2019t had any contact with Jannik. I\u2019ve been in contact with other players, but not with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there is no doubt that Ferrero will eventually make a return to tennis and he is likely to one day find himself facing Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt happens a lot in sports. A coach might be with one team and then coach a rival,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf one relationship breaks down, other possibilities open up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get along well with all the players and teams on the circuit. When the time comes to coach someone again, we\u2019ll see who it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no doubt the break with Alcaraz affected Ferrero as he unfollowed the world No 1 on Instagram<\/a> as he admitted he needed a break, but he is finally at peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen there\u2019s a breakup like that, you feel sad at first, and then you\u2019re left with a feeling of sadness for such a beautiful relationship that\u2019s over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut everyone has to move on. He has, and he\u2019s playing well and is happy. I\u2019m also at peace, working at the academy and looking at new projects.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Juan Carlos Ferrero has been linked with Jannik Sinner following his split from Carlos Alcaraz and the Spaniard…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-525439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
