- The relationship reportedly deteriorated after Ferrero left the Paris Masters soon after Alcaraz’s October 28 defeat, frustrating members of the team.
- A rift over the training base grew as Alcaraz prioritized his family club in El Palmar and the new Alcaraz Academy, while Ferrero favored his Villena academy.
