Carlos Alcaraz’s decision to dispense with Juan Carlos Ferrero caused a real earthquake in the world of tennis last December. After seven years together, full of success, the world number 1 decided to embark on a new stage in his career that had its first litmus test at the Australian Open.
The first Grand Slam of the year reinforced the world number 1 and his team, now led by Samuel López and with his brother Álvaro assuming more responsibilities.
Few people seemed to miss Ferrero. It is certainly not the case of Boris Becker, who did not hesitate to speak out on the subject to applaud the decision of the Spanish tennis player.
“It was a difficult decision for the Alcaraz team to part ways with the successful couple of Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero. But After 14 days, we know it was the right decision. The journey continues and he has the world of tennis at his feet“he declared on Eurosport Germany.

The winner of six Grand Slams praised the Spaniard for his role in the semi-final and final: “He is a very nice player. The semifinal against Alexander Zverev was very closebut this Sunday he was simply exceptional,” said the German.
Finally, he briefly analyzed the final against Djokovic: “A lot of respect, a really solid performance by Alcaraz. At first it didn’t seem like it, because Djokovic played a sensational first set. The more the match progressed, the more there was the feeling that Alcaraz was feeling comfortable. The long rallies at the end, when he faced his opponent, made it clear to me that Novak’s time was slowly running out,” Becker concluded.
