Perth, Australia (UNA) :
Top player Carlos Alcaraz begins the 2026 season after parting ways with his coach of seven years, Juan Carlos Ferrero. The duo had guided him to multiple Grand Slam titles and the No. 1 world ranking, making this split a major moment in his career.
Alcaraz now faces the challenge of adjusting to a new coaching setup just before the Australian Open, one of the year’s most important tournaments. Fans are curious how the change might affect his strategy, mental preparation, and performance under pressure.
The season also sees tough competition from rivals like Jannik Sinner, who remains a strong contender in men’s tennis. On the women’s side, stars such as Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka continue to dominate, keeping the tour competitive and engaging for fans.
For regular tennis followers, the upcoming months will reveal whether Alcaraz can maintain top form without his long‑time mentor and continue to challenge the best in the sport. His performance this season could set the tone for his career trajectory in the years ahead.
