Rumours of a Romance Between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu Heat Up Ahead of Their Mixed Doubles Debut

Grand Slam winners Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu have tennis enthusiasts eagerly following their every move, both on and off the court.

As they prepare for their mixed doubles debut, the duo generated considerable excitement at the recent Queen’s Club Championships in London.

According to reports from British tabloid The Sun, the 2021 US Open champion was spotted cheering for Alcaraz on two occasions during the event, just before the Spaniard captured the grass court title on Sunday AEST.

Furthermore, the report indicates that Alcaraz and Raducanu arrived at the venue mere minutes apart on both occasions, with Alcaraz also spotted at Raducanu’s hotel.

Raducanu had previously exited the tournament in the quarter-finals earlier that weekend.

This news, combined with their amicable rapport, has sparked speculation about a potential romantic relationship between the two.

The dynamic duo is set to compete for the mixed doubles title at the US Open in August, part of an exciting new team format.

“I thought I couldn’t perform any better unless it was with Emma. I simply asked her if she’d like to team up for doubles — it was a special request,” Alcaraz shared with reporters earlier this month.

He added with a grin, “She’ll be the one in charge.”

“I’ve known Emma for quite some time, and we have a great bond.

“We will definitely give it our all. But of course, it will be a lot of fun too.”

When quizzed about their partnership, Raducanu cheekily mentioned making Alcaraz wait for her decision.

“Gotta keep them guessing,” she quipped to the media at Queen’s.

“I mean, I did need to check with my team first about playing, but when he asked me, I was going to say ‘yes’. I just had to go through the process of consulting my coach.”

Currently ranked world No.2, Alcaraz is favoured to win the title at Wimbledon when the tournament kicks off on Monday, June 30, following his remarkable comeback victory at Roland-Garros this month.

Despite the swirling rumours, neither Alcaraz nor Raducanu has publicly confirmed any romantic relationship.

When asked directly about the swirling rumours during a recent interview with the BBC, Raducanu took it all in good humour.

“I’m glad the internet is having a bit of fun, and we’re providing some entertainment for everyone,” she stated.

Raducanu previously dated Carlo Agostinelli, but their relationship ended in June last year.

When inquired about dating, Alcaraz noted that being a professional tennis player makes it challenging to meet and nurture a romantic relationship.

Although Alcaraz was previously linked to Spanish celebrity Maria Gonzalez Gimenez, they never officially confirmed a relationship.

“I am single and open to finding someone,” Alcaraz admitted.

“It can be tough as a tennis player to meet the right person as you are constantly travelling.”

Both Alcaraz and Raducanu will launch their campaigns for The Championships next week.
