Coach Juan Carlos Ferrero doesn't want to put too much pressure on Carlos Alcaraz as he just wants the 18-year-old to keep working hard and sticking to his plan that has been bringing him success.
On Sunday, Alcaraz became a Grand Slam champion after beating Casper Ruud 7-5 6-4 in the Miami final.
Even though Alcaraz is just 18 years old, he is already a Masters champion and on the verge of breaking into the top-10.
Following his Miami victory, Alcaraz rose to a career-high of No. 11 in the world.
“Let him flow. I think the goals and our thoughts about what’s gonna be and what he can reach, now it’s very difficult to say. Let him play,” Ferrero said, per Tennis365.
“I think he’s able to do, you know, a great year, even let’s cross fingers in Grand Slams it’s maybe next step, you know, to be part maybe at the end of the second week.
“But of course he has to practice and he has to stay focused, because now I think it’s very easy to unfocus and, you know, people around is gonna, a lot of 'Hellos,' you know.
“So the team make a bubble and let, you know, him stay calm at home these days, and then, you know, go back, work normally, and then go to Monte-Carlo and try to give his best, as always, as there is no other way.”
Ferrero not surprised by Alcaraz's successFerrero, the 2003 French Open champion, claimed from the first moment he saw Alcaraz he knew that the Spaniard was a special talent.
“His potential, I know since maybe two, three years ago, because I remember when he was practicing with some of the players that they were somewhat higher in the ranking than him, he was 16 or 17, and he could adapt his game to the level of the other players,” Ferrero added.
“So, you know, it means that he has something and, you know, is going to keep working on that and keep working every day. So his potential was there, and I was only to let it flow and let it play and keep the things in a good path.
“It surprise me not at all, but of course it’s been very, you know, very fast and very quick. So not easy to do it.”
