Juan Carlos Ferrero denies false claims about Carlos Alcaraz's yacht purchase

Summary

Juan Carlos Ferrero, former coach of Carlos Alcaraz, issued a statement debunking false claims regarding Alcaraz purchasing a $9 million yacht. The misinformation originated from comments made by Italian coach Riccardo Piatti, which were misquoted after an interview with Corriere della Sera. Ferrero clarified he never judged Alcaraz's decisions or compared them to his own parenting style. He maintains that he has no opinions on the yacht purchase, which he called 'neither good nor bad'. Following their split in December 2025, Ferrero has expressed that he is still feeling the impact of their fallout, while Alcaraz aims to return from a wrist injury for the US Open this summer.
