Speculation is growing over whether former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero could guide American rising star Ben Shelton to a Grand Slam title. Ferrero, who has coached Carlos Alcaraz to multiple major championships, was spotted in the stands at Wimbledon on July 5, 2024, during Alcaraz's match against Frances Tiafoe on day five of The Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
The sighting has fueled discussion about Ferrero's future coaching plans, with Shelton's powerful game seen as a potential fit for the Spaniard's mentorship. Shelton, known for his booming serve and aggressive forehand, has reached the semifinals of the US Open and Australian Open but has yet to break through for a major title.
Neither Ferrero nor Shelton's camp has commented on any formal partnership. Ferrero remains part of Alcaraz's team, which continues to target further Grand Slam success.
