More than twenty-four hours after the resounding announcement of the split between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero, the media continues to multiply revelations to clarify the reasons for this breakup.

One of the hypotheses put forward by several media outlets points to a contractual dispute between Ferrero and Alcaraz's entourage.

"Clauses Deemed Unacceptable by Ferrero"

This time, it's Marca that explains in a bit more detail the reasons for this divorce that stunned the tennis world.

"Juan Carlos received the new contract on Saturday morning, with the condition to accept or reject it within a 48-hour deadline. The document contained several clauses that the Valencian coach deemed unacceptable.

The part related to the financial agreement, which indeed provided for a significant salary reduction, did not constitute a major obstacle to signing. However, other aspects, not directly related to tennis, posed a problem."

From the Williams sisters to Alizé Cornet, from sponsors to the ATP and WTA tours, the debate over pay equality in tennis has never been more intense. Between undeniable progress and persistent inequalities, the king of racket sports finds itself facing its own contradictions.

I love tennis

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
