Juan Carlos Ferrero Begins Trial Mental-Coaching Role in Golf After Alcaraz Split

Ferrero describes the shift as a needed change of scenery following a contract rift that ended his seven-year run with Carlos Alcaraz.

Overview

  • The former French Open champion has started a consultancy with 21-year-old Spanish golfer Ángel Ayora focused on decision-making and emotional control rather than swing mechanics.
  • Ferrero is collaborating with Ayora’s coach, Juan Ochoa, and the player’s management team in what he calls a trial period that has already begun.
  • He says tennis remains central to his life through his academy work and notes he is receiving offers from teams on both the ATP and WTA circuits.
  • Ferrero acknowledges it is “not easy” to watch Alcaraz compete from the sidelines at the Australian Open, with Samuel López now leading the world No. 1’s team.
  • Coverage and Ferrero’s comments link the December split to unresolved contract renewal issues, as Alcaraz continues his Melbourne run and has reached his first Australian Open semifinal.
