Six-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz has split with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero in a shock move.

Alcaraz, 22, has worked with his fellow Spaniard since he was a teenager, but announced on Wednesday that the pair have "decided to part ways" before the 2026 season.

Neither Alcaraz nor Ferrero has given a reason for the split.

World number one Alcaraz has not yet outlined if he plans to replace Ferrero.
