A World-Class Facility
The academy sits on 120,000 square meters of land and features 25 courts (hard and clay courts), top-class gym and recovery areas, player housing, and green surroundings designed to create a tranquil training atmosphere.
One of its most distinctive elements is its gardens, carefully set around the courts and main buildings. The academy’s location—far from motorways and city noise—allows players to practice in complete focus. And with Alicante’s mild, sunny climate, tennis can be played outdoors almost every day of the year.
A Challenger Returns to Alicante
In 2018, Ferrero Tennis Academy became the host of an ATP Challenger event in Alicante for the first time since 1996. The inaugural edition quickly earned praise for its player-friendly atmosphere and intimate setting.
The first two editions were won by Pablo Andújar, a homegrown Spanish favorite. In 2020, a then 17-year-old Carlos Alcaraz—who had trained at the academy from a young age under Ferrero’s guidance—lifted the trophy on clay.
From 2021 onward, the tournament transitioned from clay to hard courts, reflecting the academy’s commitment to preparing players for all surfaces on the tour. Frenchman Constant Lestienne captured the title in 2021 as well as 2023. This year’s edition was won by Pablo Carreño Busta, who also practiced for years at the Ferrero Tennis Academy.
