Juan Carlos Ferrero

Juan Carlos Ferrero Donat (Spanish: [xwaŋ ˈkaɾlos feˈreɾo ðoˈnat]; born 12 February 1980) is a Spanish former professional tennis player and current coach. He was ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Ferrero won 16 ATP Tour-level singles titles, including the 2003 French Open and four Masters events. He was also runner-up at the 2002 French Open and 2003 US Open. He was nicknamed "el Mosquito" for his speed and slender physical build. Ferrero retired from the sport in 2012.

After his playing career, Ferrero took up directorship of the Ferrero Tennis Academy in Alicante, Villena, where he himself was trained. In July 2017, he began coaching Alexander Zverev. Their partnership ended after seven months due to differences between them. In 2019, Ferrero began coaching Carlos Alcaraz.
