Hug between Alcaraz and Ferrero at the ATP Finals: this is what the reunion was like

Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero They gave each other the hug that both had anticipated would occur when they met again. After having broken up as a pupil and coach in December 2025, almost a year later tennis has brought them together again, now on different teams.

Alcaraz, who maintains the rest of his praetorian guard, waited at the net for Ferrero, who has taken advantage of his stay in Turin to have his first direct contact with Ben Sheltonwho will be his next pupil, working with the American’s father and also a coach Bryan Shelton.

At 4 in the afternoon there was an appointment at the Inalpi Arena headquarters. A smile appeared on both their faces. Alcaraz extended his hand to Ferrero, there was a very tennis-like exchange, palm to palm, and the tennis player then began a lateral hug that certified their meeting. And a few brief words before everyone goes to their workplace.

Both trying to convey good vibes, with Juanjo Moreno, tennis player’s physiotherapist and member of the JC Ferrero academy in Villena, as the main witness. It was all fleeting, with both of them striving to show a good atmosphere.

They were also on the field Albert Molinamanager of Alcaraz, Alberto Lledophysical trainer, and his two coaches, Samuel Lopez and his brother Alvaro Alcaraz.
