Ferrero, Alcaraz coach: “After Roland Garros I told him to have fun”

The question on which Juan Carlos Ferrero does not hold out comes suddenly: “Coach, but where is Alcaraz now?”. And the coach of Carlos breaks out to laugh, inevitably: “He is … detaching”. The warrior does not rest, but celebrates and it is impossible to blame him. Even if Ferrero, in the interview with the Spanish portal El Larguero, suggests that the team always keeps him an eye on him: “After the final of Roland Garros I told him to have fun: if he deserved it, after all. But I also reminded him that he is a tennis player”.

party … Italian

Italy, on the mad Sunday of Alcaraz, was opponent first and then friend. The 2003 class, after passing Sinner in the crazy five and a half hours of the Chatrier, allowed himself a night of celebrations at the Italian restaurant “Siena”, in the heart of Paris. Tuscan dishes all evening, then the time came to sing and dance at the rhythm of the hits revisited in a dance key, from Bella hello to fly. Carlos, for one evening, remembered his (only) twenty -two years old: “We know him, we know how he is” said Ferrero, “We slept very little, we went to dinner at one at night and it was late for the excitement. He will return in the next few days and he will do it as always with a good mood, regenerated. It is not so much the party in itself, it is the disconneation: not to be with friends. Tennis, live in twenty -two years old ”.

In Ferrero they also logically asked what passed in the team’s mind during the three matches of Sinner, in the fourth set: “Carlos was under 0-40 at the service, yet he looked at me with a smile. Then he made the gesture of the fist, so much so that he made me think: ‘No, he cannot be’. And instead he kept the service and continued to believe it until the end. sense”. On the train that led to the trophy, although the doors were to close, in the end it went up Alcaraz. Sliding Doors of a final that will project forever at Ferrero Academy: it was impossible to provide a better spot than for tennis.
