Raducanu & Alcaraz: Romance Rumors & Wimbledon Impact

The world of tennis cannot stop talking about chemistry between Carlos Alcaraz y Emma Raducanu. Young, charismatic and two of the most marketiferous players of professional tennis, Spanish and the British have a good friendship for years, as they said more than once. But the exchanges of messages on the networks, the animated talks and some look or smile that manages to capture the cameras every time they cross in a tournament continue to feed the rumors of a romance. Rumors that the number 38 of the ranking WTA He denied in the last hours, although without convincing fans too much.

“I’m glad that internet is having fun and that we are entertaining everyone”Raducanu commented, without enduring laughter, when during an interview with the chain BBC He was asked if he was aware that in social networks there were accounts dedicated to his alleged relationship with Alcaraz, who suggest that they “are destined to be together.”

The words of the British did not deter those who say that their link with Carlitos goes beyond tennis. Moreover, there were users of Twitter They said Emma blushed to the mention of her alleged courtship.

Raducanu, the same, did not confirm anything. Although he did reveal that friendship with the Murcian was born several years ago, when the two took their first steps at the highest level.

“I have known him for a long time. We were friends and we talked even before winning anything. Wimbledon 2021 I started to learn more. And then the US Open 2021. He always played a day before me. So I saw how I won and that gave me motivation to do the same. I remember that he beat Stef (Tsitsipas) in the Third Round and was a great triumph, his time of hatching in a great tournament: it was fantastic, in a way, to live that tournament together and continue moving forward through the painting. We both kept in touch all the time. It was pretty, “he said.

The American “great” edition of four years ago marked a click for their career. Alcaraz first reached the rooms in a major, was the revelation of the contest and warned that it was for great things. And Raducanu, then a stranger, won ten games in line to move from the qualy To lift the trophy.

Since then, the Spanish did not stop growing: he conquered five Grand Slam, reached number 1 (today he is second, behind Sinner) and became a power, with only 22 years. The British, on the other hand, did not know how to handle her unexpected explosion (overnight, became a super star) or the pressure of the expectations she had generated, spent several seasons fighting with injuries and changing coaches and did not get one more crown; But in 2024 he regained regularity, returned to the top 100 (he had been 10th in July 2022 and then fell outside the 200 best) and began to play at a good level. Although his paths were very different, friendship lasted.

“We still have a good relationship, although it is clear that he has surpassed me. I think we all value those links that we create when we were younger, because when you make yourself better or you are more successful, you realize that you want to talk to the people you know since childhood, you feel that there is a genuine and real connection: the friends you have known for a long time mean more for you,” Raducanu said.

The British tried to make it clear that with Alcaraz they are friends and nothing more. But he failed to placate the versions of a romance, who took more strength last week when she was in the tribune of Queen’s Seeing how Carlitos beat a Roberto Bautista Agut in semis and took another step towards the title. And that had grown a few days before, when the US Open He confirmed them as one of the 16 doubles that will play in August the redesigned doubles of the American Grand Slam, with a new format, new date and with the great figures of the circuit as protagonists.

“When the tournament told me that if I wanted to participate, I said yes, that it was something beautiful and the truth is that my first thought for companion was Emma. We have the same age, we have known each other very, very well.

The British commented: “When Carlos invited me to play, she surprised me a lot and I got excited. Of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play doubles. I was going to say yes, but I simply had to go through the formality of asking my coach. Sharing the court with it will be special. I will have to keep it at bay.”
