American tennis player Ben Shelton announced he is adding former world number one Juan Carlos Ferrero to his coaching team. Ferrero, who previously coached Carlos Alcaraz, joins Shelton's setup as the 22-year-old looks to build on his breakthrough season.
The move was confirmed on November 1, 2026, with Shelton stating that Ferrero's experience as a Grand Slam champion and former top-ranked player will bring valuable perspective to his development. Ferrero reached world number one in 2003 and won the French Open that same year.
