Carlos Alcaraz, though he has won four titles in 2024, wasn’t as consistent as Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz’s coach Juan Carlos Ferrero said he and everyone on the team are looking for ‘continuous development’ so that Alcaraz stays motivated in every tournament he plays.
Alcaraz won his first title of the 2024 season at the Indian Wells, before lifting his maiden French Open. He was the most dominating force during the summer as he also completed the Channel Slam by defending his Wimbledon crown and was on the verge of winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, though he had to satisfy himself with a silver.
Since then his form dropped a little as he got knocked out of the US Open in the second round. Following his success at the China Open, Alcaraz once again made deep runs but could not lift any title. Ferrero acknowledged that Alcaraz has flaws so the team has been working to ensure the youngster remains fresh and motivated.
Carlos has very high numbers in some things and lower numbers in others. You have to enhance your skills and improve your flaws. Obviously, those ups and downs he suffers inside the court are some of his flaws, but many times it has to do with how fresh or how motivated you are, that’s why we want to get him to arrive motivated to each tournament, to release his best tennis every week.

Juan Carlos Ferrero says Carlos Alcaraz had a magnificent season in 2024
Although some think Carlos Alcaraz didn’t have a good season in 2024, Juan Carlos Ferrero thinks exactly the opposite and lauded Alcaraz for winning two Majors. He also thinks the 21-year-old is becoming more mature, praising him for staying focused and improving certain areas of his game.
Winning a Grand Slam is very, very difficult, so winning two means a magnificent season, although there are always things that can be improved, such as off-court or training certain aspects.

The 44-year-old also hailed Jannik Sinner for winning eight titles. Alcaraz has once stated that his main goal is to complete the Career Grand Slam by winning the Australian Open next year. The Murica-born has never progressed beyond the quarterfinals in Melbourne where in 2025, Sinner will arrive as the defending champion.
