Juan Carlos Ferrero Donat (born February 12, 1980 in Ontinyent ) is a former Spanish tennis player and current coach. He was number 1 in the world rankings for seven weeks in 2003 . From July 2017 to March 2018 he acted as trainer for Alexander Zverev .

Career

Ferrero turned pro in 1998. In 1999 he won his first ATP tournament on Mallorca. In 2000 he reached the semi-finals of the French Open for the first time , in which he was defeated by the eventual winner Gustavo Kuerten in five sets. He moved into two more finals, which he also lost.

In 2001 Ferrero won the Masters tournament in Rome . Then he advanced again to the semi-finals of the French Open, where he was again defeated by Kuerten, this time in three sets. He also won the Barcelona Open Banco Sabadell , the Estoril Open and the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships and reached two finals, among others. a. at the German Open in Hamburg.

In 2002 Ferrero won the Monte Carlo Masters and the Salem Open in Hong Kong. He also reached the final of the French Open for the first time, but lost to his compatriot Albert Costa . At the end of the year, Ferrero was in the final of the ATP World Tour Finals in Shanghai, where he lost to world number one Lleyton Hewitt in five sets.

2003 was the most successful year in Ferrero's career. He defended his title in Monte Carlo and then won the French Open for the first time. He was also able to celebrate tournament victories at the Madrid Masters and the Open de Tenis Comunidad Valenciana as well as finals in Bangkok and Sydney . In September he also reached the final of the US Open . Despite the clear defeat against Andy Roddick , Ferrero was number 1 in the world. He had to hand over the top position to Roddick before the end of the year.

For five years there were no major successes, apart from six finals, u. a. at the Cincinnati Masters . It was not until April 2009 that Ferrero was able to record another victory at the tournament in Casablanca . He also reached the final of Umag in July , which he lost, however, smoothly 3: 6 and 0: 6 against Nikolai Dawydenko .

In February 2010 Ferrero won the two ATP tournaments in Brazil and Buenos Aires , his titles number 13 and 14 on the ATP World Tour . He also reached the final at the following tournament in Acapulco , but was stopped there by his compatriot David Ferrer (3: 6, 6: 3 and 1: 6).

When he - due to injury - only participated in the tournament for the third time in 2011, Ferrero won the title at the Weissenhof in Stuttgart on July 17th. In his final victory (6: 4, 6: 0) he left compatriot Pablo Andújar hardly a chance.

On September 12, 2012, Ferrero announced that he would retire from professional tennis after his home tournament in Valencia . On October 23, 2012 he retired in his opening game against compatriot Nicolás Almagro , which ended his career.

Style of play

Ferrero's nickname "Mosquito" refers to his outstanding forehand, with which he can "stab" at lightning speed and dictate the game. Ferrero is an outspoken clay court specialist, but also strong on hard court, as his participation in the finals at the US Open in 2003 shows.
