Carlos Alcaraz had an incredible season, becoming the youngest world number 1 in tennis history after conquering the US Open in September. It is well-known that one of Carlito’s most important assets is his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero. The former world number 1 is a great coach and a perfect mentor for Alcaraz. Juan Carlos has always stated that the new world number 1 is almost like a son to him.
