  "account": "Carlos Alcaraz recently shared his thoughts on the surprising news that his former coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, will be working alongside Ben Shelton's coaching box at the upcoming ATP Finals. Shelton, who is in the same group as Alexander Zverev, Arthur Fils, and Rafael Jodar, has partnered with Ferrero, who spent a year away from coaching after their parting ways in December 2025. Alcaraz, who is in Ivan Lendl's group with Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, and Frances Tiafoe, is set to face his former coach as the second seed, while Ferrero will accompany the US Open finalist. Alcaraz admitted that it would be strange to see Ferrero again, but he expressed his gratitude by giving Ferrero a hug. Ferrero has committed to 12 tournaments a year with Shelton, including all four Grand Slams, Masters 1000 events, and the ATP Finals.",
