Juan Carlos Ferrero is once again a free agent, having shockingly split from Carlos Alcaraz just yesterday.
The two announced that they would be parting ways with emotional messages, thanking one another for a stunning partnership.
However, despite the fondness clearly shared, many have still been left scratching their heads, completely blindsided by such unexpected news.
Alexander Zverev, though, might have argued that such a split was always likely given the way he ended his working relationship with the Spaniard.

In what was his first foray into coaching, Ferrero took on the opportunity to try and guide the German up the rankings.
And, whilst he did help Zverev to a Masters 1000 title in Canada, their union swiftly regressed in what turned out to be a short year alongside one another.
What do you make of Carlos Alcaraz’s decision to part ways with Juan Carlos Ferrero?
Speaking after their 2018 split, the player did not hold back in his assessment of the 45-year-old.
He revealed, at the time: “We had a kind of a fight in Australia after the Australian Open, which is fine when it involves me and him. I have those kinds of arguments [with other team members], and we are still working fine.
“That argument there involved my whole team, and there was a moment where he was very disrespectful towards everybody in my team, and that’s why I had to stop the relationship.”
Meanwhile, Ferrero attributed their split to Zverev’s lack of professionalism.
