“It’s Going to Be Strange” – Carlos Alcaraz on Seeing Juan Carlos Ferrero in Ben Shelton’s Coaching Box at ATP Finals

Carlos Alcaraz has spoken about the unusual situation of seeing his former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero working in Ben Shelton's coaching box at the upcoming ATP Finals, describing it as 'strange.' At the tournament, Shelton is placed in the John McEnroe group alongside Alexander Zverev, Arthur Fils, and Rafael Jodar, while Alcaraz competes in the Ivan Lendl group with Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, and Frances Tiafoe. The two players are therefore in separate groups, meaning they would only potentially meet in the knockout stages.
