The world of tennis was shaken by a sensational news just after the Wimbledon 2025 semifinal: Carlos Alcaraz would have asked for an immediate change of coach, putting an end to his long and fruitful collaboration with Juan Carlos Ferrero, a mentor that has accompanied him since the beginning of his professional career.

The defeat in three sets against Jannik Sinner, who dominated the central field with coldness and impeccable strategy, would have left Alcaraz not only disappointed but deeply frustrated by the technical indications received by his team.

“You told me that Sinner was vulnerable on the backhand …” Alcaraz would declare in his box, visibly agitated and full of anger.
“Instead he destroyed me right there.”

🔻 a sudden but not entirely unexpected breakage

According to sources close to the Spanish team, signs of tension had been noticed for several weeks between the player and his historic coach. Alcaraz, known for his continuous search for improvement, would have repeatedly expressed the desire to evolve his game towards a more aggressive and modern style, believing that the defensive tactics proposed by Ferrero were now limiting.

“His strategies no longer reflect my skills,” would have confided Carlos to a Spanish journalist after the press conference.
“I felt stuck on the pitch.”

📉 A Wimbledon to forget?

For many analysts, Alcaraz’s performance against Sinner was one of the most disappointing of his recent career. Despite a growing season, the young Spaniard has never really seemed to be in the game, and his tactical choices appeared predictable and ineffective against a Sinner in a state of grace.

“Sinner has dominated mentally and physically,” said Mats Wilander on Eurosport.
“And Alcaraz seemed not to have a plan B.”

👀 Who will be the new coach?

At the moment, there are no official confirmations on the name of Ferrero’s possible successor. However, corridor voices speak of an approach between Alcaraz and a well -known foreign coach, expert in offensive players. Some even hypothesize a possible interest in Ivan Ljubičić, former coach of Roger Federer.

The Spanish Federation is silent for now, but it is clear that this decision marks an important turning point in Carlos Alcaraz’s career, which, at just 22 years old, shows that he wants to take full control of his sports destiny.

Updates follow. Wimbledon 2025 is not only the triumph of Sinner, but perhaps also the beginning of a new era for Carlos Alcaraz.
