Emma Raducanu started grinning when asked by Carlos Alcaraz. “We are just good friends,” said the British in Wimbledon with a laugh – and cleared out the numerous speculations about the relationship between the two tennis professionals.
Since the announcement that the five-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz (22) and Raducanu (22) competed together at the Mixed competition at the US Open at the end of August, the rumor mill has not been quiet.
In addition, the two fired the speculation through a joint training in the All England Club on Friday. The reason for the performance was a common sponsor, Raducanu made it clear.

In the reformed mixed competition in Flushing Meadows, the prize money of one million dollars for the winner couple and the new mode attract numerous stars. After the announcement, Alcaraz had declared that he had asked Raducanu for the tournament.
“I’m totally excited. I think it will be great,” said Alcaraz last: “I will try to bring in my skills in doubles. We will try to win, but of course it will be really fun.”
