Emma Raducanu laughed off suggestions that she is in a romantic relationship with French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz.
She will partner alongside Alcaraz in the 2025 US Open Mixed doubles, and internet users feel that the pair is destined to love each other.
In an interview, Raducanu was made aware that some accounts are pairing her romantically with the Spaniard. She took it very sportingly.
“I’m glad the internet’s having fun & we’re providing some entertainment for everyone,” Raducanu said.
The pair shares a strong friendship. The Brit tennis star even headed to Queen’s over the weekend to watch the world No. 2 win his semi-final match.
Alcaraz had admitted Raducanu took a while to respond to his request to join him on the doubles court. And the 22-year-old has now joked that she had to “keep him on his toes” before giving a response.
She continued: “I’ve known him for years and actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021.
“And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.
“And I remember he beat Stef [Tsitsipas] in the third round and it was like a big win, his breakout kind of win on a big stage and it was really cool to kind of, I guess, go through that tournament together and then I kept going through the US Open, but we were staying in touch for the whole time and yeah, it’s nice.”
