However, the start to the season was not that promising, with Carlos Alcaraz being knocked out of the Qatar Open and the Miami Open. In conversation with Tennis World Italia: Juan Carlos Ferrero mentioned the Spaniard’s form at the start of the season.
Juan Carlos Ferrero doesn’t just want to be a coach for Alcaraz; He wants a friendly relationship full of trust, in which Alcaraz can tell him everything. In this way he helps his player to become mentally strong.
Ferrero knows how important it is to work on the players’ mental preparation, so he often focuses all his attention on that.
“In Indian Wells and Miami he lost some confidence. It was a difficult period, not because of the defeat itself, but because of the way it happened.”
He was affected by that tournament and we spoke when we got back. We talk to him a lot, but when we see that he is irritable or a little vulnerable at certain moments of the season, we focus on the psychological aspect: as friends, more than as coaches.” – Ferrero said.
Monte Carlo
After that, Carlos Alcaraz regained his form and was brilliant on the pitch. This is another indication that tennis is not only a physically challenging sport, but also a mentally challenging one.
The best tennis players always had a unique mentality that allowed them to be dominant year after year.
Carlos Alcaraz is one of the mentally strongest players, with the potential to be even more impressive next season, but it remains to be seen how successful he will be on his path.
“Winning Monte Carlo, even without playing that well, but with a 10 out of 10 attitude, really helped him.
Since then he has reached many finals and achieved incredible results in the Slams. The Monte Carlo Masters 1000 was a turning point.
It gave him the confidence he needed, and from then on he was able to achieve extraordinary results,” said Ferrero.
