'Helped Him Maintain Humility & Champion's Mentality': Djokovic Heaps Praise On Alcaraz's Coach

| by Evita Mueller

One of the most underrated things about Carlos Alcaraz's career is the stability he has with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.

If you've ever stumbled upon some tennis-talking heads talking about tennis, you might have heard them talk about stability. Let's take the example of Emma Raducanu, whose coaching carousel garnered plenty of attention.

Quite a few tennis pundits have pleaded with Raducanu to settle on a coach and just stick with it, but it didn't happen. Yet. To be fair, playing tennis would be a great start for her, as the Brit is struggling with injuries.

On the opposite side of that spectrum is Carlos Alcaraz. He's been coached by the same coach for years now, and it's none other than former number-one Juan Carlos Ferrero.

The Spaniard has guided his protege through a supernova start to his career and has done so well. Novak Djokovic respects Ferrero a lot for what he did in tennis but also for what he did with Alcaraz. He shared some of that with Marca during a recent interview.

I have a lot of respect for Ferrero, starting from the fact that he was number one. I was always impressed by how professional he was and the seriousness with which he dedicated himself to tennis. It is obvious that he has helped Alcaraz a lot not only to achieve success but also to maintain humility and a champion's mentality. .

Thanks to Juan Carlos and his family's upbringing, he is more mature than his age suggests. He is only 20 years old, but on the track he behaves like someone who has a lot of experience and maturity

That stability has worked wonders for Alcaraz and will continue to do so in the coming years. Considering how often the Spanird quotes the former player, he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
