Nov 8 : Spain’s former world number three David Ferrer will join Casper Ruud’s coaching team for the 2027 season, the Norwegian said after his semi-final defeat by Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters.
• Ferrer, who is set to step down from his role as Spain’s Davis Cup captain after this month’s Finals, will join Ruud’s father Christian and Pedro Clar in the 27-year-old’s team.
• The Spaniard, a French Open finalist in 2013, coached Alexander Zverev in 2020 and 2021 shortly after his retirement as a player in 2019.
• “Good news travels fast! David Ferrer will be joining the team next year, and needless to say, we’re all really excited about what’s ahead,” Ruud wrote in a post on Instagram after his 6-4 6-4 loss to Alcaraz on Saturday.
