Since the announcement of his separation from Juan Carlos Ferrero, speculation has been rife regarding the name of Carlos Alcaraz's future coach.

However, the world number one would have opted for stability, as announced this Thursday by Spanish journalist Angel Muniz.

"More than five coaches have offered their services"

Indeed, despite offers received by Alcaraz, he is likely to retain Samuel Lopez as his main coach for the entire 2026 season:

"More than five coaches have offered to coach Alcaraz but his final decision is as follows: Samuel Lopez will be his main coach for the upcoming season.

I am very happy for him, because he is a great guy and a very good coach. The rest of the team, except for Ferrero, also remains in place."

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.?
